Abstract
State-of-the art models for the Next Location Prediction Problem rely on sophisticated techniques such as Matrix Factorization or Artificial Neural Networks to tackle this task, neglecting interpretability for performance. In this paper, we analyze STRNN, a model based on Recurrent Neural Network and exploit spatial, temporal and sequential influences to accurately predict the next location. We propose an original model, STILP, a white-box alternative which aims to solve the next location problem in a similar manner.
