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

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.
