An Empirical Recommendation Framework to Support Location-Based Services

Abstract

The rapid growth of Global Positioning System (GPS) and availability of real-time Geo-located data allow the mobile devices to provide information which leads towards the Location Based Services (LBS). The need for providing suggestions to personals about the activities of their interests, the LBS contributing more effectively to this purpose. Recommendation system (RS) is one of the most effective and efficient features that has been initiated by the LBS. Our proposed system is intended to design a recommendation system that will provide suggestions to the user and also find a suitable place for a group of users and it is according to their preferred type of places. In our work, we propose the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm for clustering the check-in spots of the user’s and user-based Collaborative Filtering (CF) to find similar users as we are considering constructing an interest profile for each user. We also introduced a grid-based structure to present the Point of Interest (POI) into a map. Finally, similarity calculation is done to make the recommendations. We evaluated our system on real world users and acquired the F-measure score on average 0.962 and 0.964 for a single user and for a group of user respectively. We also observed that our system provides effective recommendations for a single user as well as for a group of users.

Tourist Recommender Systems Based on Emotion Recognition—A Scientometric Review

“…Location-based tourism recommenders [18][19][20]64] have used the technological capabilities of mobile devices to provide information to the user on points of interest (POI) near your geographic position. In [97] developed a recommender based on a clustering algorithm to discover user preferences' behavior. It used the CS technique to extract the unvisited places from the profiles.…”

Skyline Query Based on User Preferences in Cellular Environments

“…These systems have successfully addressed various challenges and offer several benefits to users, such as assisting in product selection, increasing sales transactions, and improving customer loyalty [3]. Given their advantages, recommendation systems have become increasingly important, especially for mobile users engaged in digital transactions [4]. Personalized recommendation systems rely on user perceptions of products or services to provide relevant suggestions [3].…”
