Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving location data from a mobile device associated with a user. The location data includes one or more location readings sent automatically and without manual input from the user. The method also includes representing the location data as one or more geo-location data points based at least in part on a distance between the location readings and the geo-location data points; and grouping one or more of the geo-location data points into one or more geo-location clusters based at least in part on a distance between each geo-location data point and a geo-location centroid of each geo-location cluster.
