TLDR
This paper is the first to fuse MF with geographical and social influence for POI recommendation in LBSNs via modeling the probability of a user's check-in on a location as a Multicenter Gaussian Model (MGM) and fuse the geographical influence into a generalized matrix factorization framework.
Abstract
Recently, location-based social networks (LBSNs), such as Gowalla, Foursquare, Facebook, and Brightkite, etc, have attracted millions of users to share their social friendship and their locations via check-ins The available check-in information makes it possible to mine users' preference on locations and to provide favorite recommendations Personalized Point-of-interest (POI) recommendation is a significant task in LBSNs since it can help targeted users explore their surroundings as well as help third-party developers to provide personalized services To solve this task, matrix factorization is a promising tool due to its success in recommender systems However, previously proposed matrix factorization (MF) methods do not explore geographical influence, eg, multi-center check-in property, which yields suboptimal solutions for the recommendation In this paper, to the best of our knowledge, we are the first to fuse MF with geographical and social influence for POI recommendation in LBSNs We first capture the geographical influence via modeling the probability of a user's check-in on a location as a Multicenter Gaussian Model (MGM) Next, we include social information and fuse the geographical influence into a generalized matrix factorization framework Our solution to POI recommendation is efficient and scales linearly with the number of observations Finally, we conduct thorough experiments on a large-scale real-world LBSNs dataset and demonstrate that the fused matrix factorization framework with MGM utilizes the distance information sufficiently and outperforms other state-of-the-art methods significantly

A Location-Sentiment-Aware Recommender System for Both Home-Town and Out-of-Town Users

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a latent probabilistic generative model called LSARS to mimic the decision-making process of users' check-in activities both in home-Town and out-of-Town scenarios by adapting to user interest drift and crowd sentiments, which can learn location-aware and sentiment-aware individual interests from the contents of spatial items and user reviews.

Point-of-Interest Demand Modeling with Human Mobility Patterns

TL;DR: A latent factor model is developed that integrates human mobility data, POI profiles, and demographic data to robustly model the POI demand of urban regions in a holistic way and is effective for identifying POI demands for different regions.

NEXT: A Neural Network Framework for Next POI Recommendation

TL;DR: In this paper, a neural network framework is proposed to learn the hidden intent regarding user's next move, by incorporating meta-data information and two kinds of temporal contexts (i.e., time interval and visit time).

LGLMF: Local Geographical Based Logistic Matrix Factorization Model for POI Recommendation

TL;DR: An effective geographical model is proposed by considering the user's main region of activity and the relevance of each location within that region and is fused into the Logistic Matrix Factorization to improve the accuracy of POI recommendation.

Probabilistic Matrix Factorization

TL;DR: The Probabilistic Matrix Factorization (PMF) model is presented, which scales linearly with the number of observations and performs well on the large, sparse, and very imbalanced Netflix dataset and is extended to include an adaptive prior on the model parameters.

Friendship and mobility: user movement in location-based social networks

TL;DR: A model of human mobility that combines periodic short range movements with travel due to the social network structure is developed and it is shown that this model reliably predicts the locations and dynamics of future human movement and gives an order of magnitude better performance.

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.

Recommender systems with social regularization

TL;DR: This paper proposes a matrix factorization framework with social regularization, which can be easily extended to incorporate other contextual information, like social tags, etc, and demonstrates that the approaches outperform other state-of-the-art methods.
