TLDR
In this paper, a real-world recommendation system based on users' past location data history is proposed. But the system uses a newly devised place learning algorithm, which can efficiently find users' frequented places, complete with their proper names (e.g. “The Ueno Royal Museum”).
Abstract
Recommendation systems, which automatically understand user preferences and make recommendations, are now widely used in online shopping. However, so far there have been few attempts of applying them to real-world shopping. In this paper, we propose a novel real-world recommendation system, which makes recommendations of shops based on users’ past location data history. The system uses a newly devised place learning algorithm, which can efficiently find users’ frequented places, complete with their proper names (e.g. “The Ueno Royal Museum”). Users’ frequented shops are used as input to the item-based collaborative filtering algorithm to make recommendations. In addition, we provide a method for further narrowing down shops based on prediction of user movement and geographical conditions of the city. We have evaluated our system at a popular shopping district inside Tokyo, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of our overall approach.

Mining interesting locations and travel sequences from GPS trajectories

TL;DR: This work first model multiple individuals' location histories with a tree-based hierarchical graph (TBHG), and proposes a HITS (Hypertext Induced Topic Search)-based inference model, which regards an individual's access on a location as a directed link from the user to that location.

Map-matching for low-sampling-rate GPS trajectories

TL;DR: The results show that the ST-matching algorithm significantly outperform incremental algorithm in terms of matching accuracy for low-sampling trajectories and when compared with AFD-based global algorithm, ST-Matching also improves accuracy as well as running time.

Collaborative location and activity recommendations with GPS history data

TL;DR: This paper shows that, by using the location data based on GPS and users' comments at various locations, it can discover interesting locations and possible activities that can be performed there for recommendations and extensively evaluated the system.

Mining user similarity based on location history

TL;DR: A framework, referred to as hierarchical-graph-based similarity measurement (HGSM), is proposed for geographic information systems to consistently model each individual's location history and effectively measure the similarity among users and outperforms related similarity measures, such as the cosine similarity and Pearson similarity measures.

Item-based collaborative filtering recommendation algorithms

TL;DR: This paper analyzes item-based collaborative ltering techniques and suggests that item- based algorithms provide dramatically better performance than user-based algorithms, while at the same time providing better quality than the best available userbased algorithms.

Context-Aware Computing Applications

TL;DR: This paper describes systems that examine and react to an individual's changing context, and describes four catagories of context-aware applications: proximate selection, automatic contextual reconfiguration, contextual information and commands, and contex-triggered actions.
