A method for verifying a trip for a user and a trip provider, the method comprising: receiving , from a client device , data associated with sensor information of the client device and associated with a trip record, the trip record being associated with the trip for the user and the trip provider, the data including (i) a data sample for a set of sensors of the client device and (ii) one or more characteristics of the data sample; generating a test embedding for the data sample, the test embedding using a plurality of latent dimensions that represent at least a portion of the data sample; identifying a reference embedding for a set of reference characteristics, the set of reference characteristics corresponding to at least one of the one or more characteristics of the data sample, the reference embedding being based on a set of embeddings each using the plurality of latent dimensions that represent sensor data for a set of trip records different than the trip record, the set of trip records being associated with the set of reference characteristics; determining a similarity score between the test embedding corresponding to the trip record and the reference embedding by comparing each latent dimension of the test embedding and a corresponding latent dimension of the reference embedding; verifying , in response to the similarity score exceeding a threshold score, that the data sample was captured while the set of sensors were subject to the set of reference characteristics; and in response to the verification that the data sample was captured while the set of sensors were subject to the set of reference characteristics, determining that the trip provider and the user travelled together along at least a portion of a route of the trip. receiving , from a client device , data associated with sensor information of the client device and associated with a trip record, the trip record being associated with the trip for the user and the trip provider, the data including (i) a data sample for a set of sensors of the client device and (ii) one or more characteristics of the data sample; generating a test embedding for the data sample, the test embedding using a plurality of latent dimensions that represent at least a portion of the data sample; identifying a reference embedding for a set of reference characteristics, the set of reference characteristics corresponding to at least one of the one or more characteristics of the data sample, the reference embedding being based on a set of embeddings each using the plurality of latent dimensions that represent sensor data for a set of trip records different than the trip record, the set of trip records being associated with the set of reference characteristics; determining a similarity score between the test embedding corresponding to the trip record and the reference embedding by comparing each latent dimension of the test embedding and a corresponding latent dimension of the reference embedding; verifying , in response to the similarity score exceeding a threshold score, that the data sample was captured while the set of sensors were subject to the set of reference characteristics; and in response to the verification that the data sample was captured while the set of sensors were subject to the set of reference characteristics, determining that the trip provider and the user travelled together along at least a portion of a route of the trip. <EOS>
