Research Type Experimental We have performed extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-life data. The results on synthetic data verify our theoretical analysis; while the results on real-life data demonstrate that SHMM learns meaningful semantics-rich mobility models, outperforms state-of-the-art mobility models for next location prediction, and incurs lower training cost.

Pseudocode No The paper describes algorithms and procedures in narrative text and mathematical formulas but does not include any explicit pseudocode blocks or algorithm listings.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any statement or link indicating that the source code for the methodology is openly available.
Open Datasets Yes The real-life datasets are semantic traces from Twitter users collected by Zhang et al. (Zhang et al. 2016a).
Dataset Splits No Given a semantic trace dataset, we randomly select 70% traces for model training and use the rest 30% for testing.
Hardware Specification Yes We implemented SHMM and the baseline methods in JAVA and conducted all the experiments on a computer with 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU and 16GB memory.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'JAVA' as the implementation language but does not specify a version number or list other software dependencies (e.g., libraries, frameworks) with their specific versions.
Experiment Setup Yes The parameters used are: min-count=10, size=30, window=5, sample=10 4, negative=5.
