Users location prediction in location-based social networks

TLDR
This paper proposes a model that leverages the use of Global Temporal Preferences and Spatial Correlation, to help make predictions for a previously unseen user - the so-called cold-start problem.
Abstract
The wealth of user-generated data in Location-Based Social Networks (LBSNs) has opened new opportunities for researchers to model and understand human mobile behaviour, including predicting where they are most likely to check-in next. In this paper, we propose a model that leverages the use of Global Temporal Preferences and Spatial Correlation, to help make predictions for a previously unseen user - the so-called cold-start problem. The experimental results on a real-world LBSN dataset show that our proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches on prediction accuracy and can alleviate the cold-start problem.

Influence-Time-Proximity Driven Locations Recommendation Model: An Integrated Approach

TL;DR: This paper proposes an integrated location recommendation model that considers users' interests, their friends influences, time and seasonality factors, and users' willingness to visit distant locations to generate a ranked list of locations which will be recommended to the user.

Time-aware point-of-interest recommendation

TL;DR: This paper defines a new problem, namely, the time-aware POI recommendation, to recommend POIs for a given user at a specified time in a day, and develops a collaborative recommendation model that is able to incorporate temporal information.

Mining User Mobility Features for Next Place Prediction in Location-Based Services

TL;DR: This work analyzes about 35 million check-ins made by Foursquare users in over 5 million venues across the globe, and proposes a set of features that aim to capture the factors that may drive users' movements, finding that the supervised methodology based on the combination of multiple features offers the highest levels of prediction accuracy.

Modeling temporal effects of human mobile behavior on location-based social networks

TL;DR: This paper proposes a general framework to exploit and model temporal cyclic patterns and their relationships with spatial and social data and demonstrates the ability of this framework to select the most effective location prediction algorithm under various combinations of prediction models.

On the Importance of Venue-Dependent Features for Learning to Rank Contextual Suggestions

TL;DR: A variety of user-dependent and venue-dependent features are explored and a learning to rank technique can significantly outperform a Language Modelling baseline that models the positive and negative preferences of the user.
