This lecture delves into the analysis of location-based social networks (LBSNs) like Foursquare, exploring motivations for check-ins, large-scale human mobility patterns, place perception, and biases in mobility data. It discusses user studies, privacy concerns, and models for human mobility analysis from check-ins, comparing assumptions with real-world data sources.
