A method for inferring a user interest from geo data items associated with the user. The method includes retrieving point-of-interests (PoIs) from a PoI information repository based on the geo data items, generating a weighted count of the PoI for each geo data item that is weighted based on an attribute of the geo data item, and aggregating the weighted count across all geo data items to generate a score of the PoI, wherein the interest level of the user is inferred based at least on the score of the PoI.

Inferring user interests from geo-location reports

A method for profiling user activity in a mobile network, including extracting user identifiers from application sessions identified from a mobile network, analyzing the application sessions to determine session blocks based on shared IP address and a minimum separation time threshold, extracting a traffic marker from the session blocks based on a user identifier, identifying a first portion of the session blocks based on the user identifier, wherein the first portion is associated with first mobile network activities of a user identified by the user identifier, identifying a second portion of the session blocks based on the traffic marker, wherein the second portion is associated with second mobile network activities of the user, and analyzing the first portion and the second portion to determine a measure of a mobile network activity of the user.
