Abstract
In this article, we explore intercity mobility in urban agglomerations by surveying people traveling across cities based on private car trajectory data. Specifically, we first adopt the statistical analysis method to mine the intercity mobility in terms of various metrics of travel trips, so as to gain a preliminary understanding of intercity mobility in urban agglomeration. Then, we utilize the tensor decomposition method to conduct in-depth study on the intercity mobility pattern from the perspectives of complexity and multidimensionality. We construct a 4-D tensor based on private car trajectory and point-of-interest (POI) datasets and define the functional similarity and geographic adjacency between regions. Finally, we design an alternating proximal gradient (APG)-based method to resolve the core tensor and factor matrix, leading to the fine-grained discovery of intercity mobility patterns on administrative divisions in the urban agglomeration. Extensive experiments are conducted to evaluate the analysis of intercity mobility, using a real-world dataset containing one-year private car trajectories from five cities in the selected urban agglomeration. The experiments show that the proposed method successfully captures 20 intercity mobility patterns, in which the factor matrices retrieve the patterns from different dimensions with core tensors characterizing correlations between patterns in factor matrices. Besides, the extracted intercity mobility patterns not only cover administrative areas with frequent intercity interactions, but also contain areas with less intercity interactions. It validates that the intercity mobility is consistent with the regional functions in urban agglomeration.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
