Datasets

The data challenge participants are provided with human mobility patterns of 4 metropolitan areas, found here:https://zenodo.org/records/15313913. Please apply for data download through the Zenodo link. Please provide the following information in the request form: 1) Your name, 2) email address, 3) institution, and 4) Team name.

This data contains synthetic movement information generated from user location data obtained from LY Corporation smartphone applications. It does not reveal the actual timestamp, latitude, longitude, etc., and does not identify individuals. This data can only be used for the purpose of participating in the GIS CUP 2025.

The task is to predict the movement of 3000 individuals each in cities A, B, C, and D, during days 61 to 75, using movement data of individuals in cities A, B, C, D, which includes a total of 150,000, 30,000, 25,000, and 20,000 individuals, respectively. The locations (x,y) that need to be predicted are masked with cell numbers ‘999’.

For cities A and B, days 61 to 75 are directly after days 1 to 60, but for cities C and D, days 61 to 75 are several months later than the days 1 to 60 and are not consecutive.

The data descriptor was published in Nature Scientific Data. Check it out here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-024-03237-9

Thank you for participating in GISCUP 2025! The dataset is now fully open and available for general use here: https://zenodo.org/records/18050604
