“NextLocLLM: Location Semantics Modeling and Coordinate-Based Next Location Prediction with LLMs” proposes a framework that replaces discrete location IDs with normalized spatial coordinates and leverages large language models to encode POI semantics—then predicts next location coordinates and retrieves candidate POIs via nearest-neighbor search.
