Abstract

In this paper we introduce an advanced platform to label mobile event data with significant subscriber locations in real time. The presented platform is divided into two sections – the learning section and the real-time processing section. During the real-time processing step, we enrich live event streams with significant locations calculated in the learning step using stream and call detail record data. We validate our system by comparing a sample of subscribers' calculated locations with actual locations and give state benchmarks for minimum event counts. The validation confirms that the platform works within desired deviation levels from real locations. The accuracy strongly depends on the event count that we can take into account. Finally, we simulate a real-world scenario and measure the real-time labelling performance of our system. The results of this simulation confirm that our event labelling platform performs sufficiently well to process real event streams for millions of subscribers in real time.
