Abstract

This work is devoted to the clustering of check-in sequences from a geosocial network. We used the mixture Markov chain process as a mathematical model for time-dependent types of data. For clustering, we adjusted the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. As a result, we obtained highly detailed communities (clusters) of users of the now defunct geosocial network, Weeplaces.
