2     Summary

In this paper we consider the problem of recommending modes of transport to
users in an urban setting. In particular, we build on our past work in which
a general framework for activity recommendation is proposed. To model the
personal preferences and habits of users, the framework uses a sequence-based
approach to capture the order as well as the context associated with user activity
patterns. Here, we extend this work by introducing a machine learning approach
to learn and take into account the natural variations in the regularity and repe-
tition of individual user behaviour that occur. We demonstrate the versatility of
our recommendation framework by applying it to the transport domain, and an
evaluation using a real-world dataset demonstrates the efficacy of the approach.1
