Massive-STEPS-Kuwait City

Dataset Summary

Massive-STEPS is a large-scale dataset of semantic trajectories intended for understanding POI check-ins. The dataset is derived from the Semantic Trails Dataset and Foursquare Open Source Places, and includes check-in data from 12 cities across 10 countries. The dataset is designed to facilitate research in various domains, including trajectory prediction, POI recommendation, and urban modeling. Massive-STEPS emphasizes the importance of geographical diversity, scale, semantic richness, and reproducibility in trajectory datasets.
