We can extract thousands of location

“features” from tens of millions of users and

tens of millions of points-of-interest

Proprietary algorithms to summarize all this information more efficiently (“jpeg for data”)

Location-Based Segments Proven to Drive User Behavior

• Example: Using data from a mobile location app, we predicted

new places that users would go based on their “tribe”

• If we gave users 500 recommendations, 20% were acted on

Baseline

We examined 30k users and 5k points of interest. If users were presented with 50, 100, or 500 place recommendations they had not previously visited, what % of those

would they visit and check in? For 100 Sense recommendations, 8% were acted upon by users. For 500 Sense recommendations, 20% were acted upon.
