Abstract
The ever increasing popularity of location aware mobile devices, has facilitated the collection of large amounts of human mobility data. This data usually contains where a person was and when, which can give us an insight into the complex social behavior of people. In this paper we explore the use of co-location as a means to estimate the strength of relationship between people. First we modify existing co-location algorithms to take the significance of the location of co-occurrence into account in predicting relationship strength. Next, we propose a system to identify social groups that exists in geographic areas called Local Social Groups by using co-location information. Finally, we run extensive experiments on our sample data to test the efficiency of our approach.
