演讲摘要：

Spatial data stands for any kind of data that has one or more fields concerning with location, shape, area and similar attributes. Spatial data mining tries to understand spatial data, discover relationships between spatial and non-spatial data, and construct spatial knowledge bases. Recently, the increasing availability of GPS-enabled devices is changing the way people interact with the Web and brings us a large number of GPS trajectories representing people’s location histories. Such real-world location histories imply, to some extent, users’ interests and intentions and enable us to better understand people and locations. At Microsoft Research Asia, we are working on various spatial data mining technologies for different applications. In this talk, I will present our recent work on this direction, as well as other related works in Microsoft and the industry.
