On the semantic annotation of places in location-based social networks

TLDR
A semantic annotation technique for location-based social networks to automatically annotate all places with category tags which are a crucial prerequisite for location search, recommendation services, or data cleaning is developed.
Abstract
In this paper, we develop a semantic annotation technique for location-based social networks to automatically annotate all places with category tags which are a crucial prerequisite for location search, recommendation services, or data cleaning. Our annotation algorithm learns a binary support vector machine (SVM) classifier for each tag in the tag space to support multi-label classification. Based on the check-in behavior of users, we extract features of places from i) explicit patterns (EP) of individual places and ii) implicit relatedness (IR) among similar places. The features extracted from EP are summarized from all check-ins at a specific place. The features from IR are derived by building a novel network of related places (NRP) where similar places are linked by virtual edges. Upon NRP, we determine the probability of a category tag for each place by exploring the relatedness of places. Finally, we conduct a comprehensive experimental study based on a real dataset collected from a location-based social network, Whrrl. The results demonstrate the suitability of our approach and show the strength of taking both EP and IR into account in feature extraction.

GeoMF: joint geographical modeling and matrix factorization for point-of-interest recommendation

TL;DR: The results indicate that weighted matrix factorization is superior to other forms of factorization models and that incorporating the spatial clustering phenomenon in human mobility behavior on the LBSNs into matrixfactorization improves recommendation performance.

Inferring anchor links across multiple heterogeneous social networks

TL;DR: This paper proposes to extract heterogeneous features from multiple heterogeneous networks for anchor link prediction, including user's social, spatial, temporal and text information, and derives an effective solution, MNA (Multi-Network Anchoring), to infer anchor links w.r.t. the one-to-one constraint.

Learning Graph-based POI Embedding for Location-based Recommendation

TL;DR: A generic graph-based embedding model is proposed that jointly captures the sequential effect, geographical influence, temporal cyclic effect and semantic effect in a unified way by embedding the four corresponding relational graphs into a shared low dimensional space and develops a novel time-decay method to dynamically compute the user's latest preferences.

A Decision-Theoretic Generalization of On-Line Learning and an Application to Boosting

TL;DR: The model studied can be interpreted as a broad, abstract extension of the well-studied on-line prediction model to a general decision-theoretic setting, and it is shown that the multiplicative weight-update Littlestone?Warmuth rule can be adapted to this model, yielding bounds that are slightly weaker in some cases, but applicable to a considerably more general class of learning problems.
