Abstract

To overcome the problem of dimension curse in the processing of predicting indoor location by using the traditional Markov chains, this paper proposes a novel hybrid Markov-LSTM model to predict the indoor user’s next location, which adopt the multi-order Markov chains (k-MCs) to model the long indoor location sequences and use LSTM to reduce dimension through combining multiple first-order MCs. Finally, we conduct comprehensive experiments on the real indoor trajectories to evaluate our proposed model. The results show that the Markov-LSTM model significantly outperforms five existing baseline methods in terms of its predictive performance.
