TrajTok: Adaptive Spatial Tokenization for Trajectory Representation Learning

Learning generalizable trajectory representations from raw GPS traces remains difficult because the data is continuous, noisy, and irregularly sampled. Spatial tokenization is also challenging: fine grids yield sparse cells with weak embeddings, while coarse grids merge heterogeneous movement patterns into the same token. We present TrajTok, a trajectory encoder with a simple pretraining recipe for transferable trajectory embeddings. TrajTok first learns a multi-resolution hexagonal cell partition from the spatial distribution of GPS points, converting noisy GPS sequences into discrete cell tokens. To capture both geometry and kinematics, it uses a factorized transformer encoder with earl...
