Exploring an Efficient POI Recommendation Model Based on User Characteristics and Spatial-Temporal Factors

Abstract

The advent of mobile scenario-based consumption popularizes and gradually maturates the application of point of interest (POI) recommendation services based on geographical location. However, the insufficient fusion of heterogeneous data in the current POI recommendation services leads to poor recommendation quality. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid POI recommendation model (NHRM) based on user characteristics and spatial-temporal factors to enhance the recommendation effect. The proposed model contains three sub-models. The first model considers user preferences, forgetting characteristics, user influence, and trajectories. The second model studies the impact of the correlation between the locations of POIs and calculates the check-in probability of POI with the two-dimensional kernel density estimation method. The third model analyzes the influence of category of POI. Consequently, the above results were combined and top-K POIs were recommended to target users. The experimental results on Yelp and Meituan data sets showed that the recommendation performance of our method is superior to some other methods, and the problems of cold-start and data sparsity are alleviated to a certain extent.

How to Evaluate the Green and High-Quality Development Path? An FsQCA Approach on the China Pilot Free Trade Zone

“…Through a questionnaire survey, someone explored the mechanism model of guiding tourists’ sustainable consumption intention based on environment and consumption behavior and provides corresponding strategies for consumers to further promote the development of green economy [ 29 ]. In the field of e-commerce, some scholars have proposed an effective POI (point-of-interest) recommendation method based on preference, social relations, and temporal and spatial factors, to improve the accuracy of recommendations, alleviate the problems of cold start and sparsity of recommendations, and provide theoretical and practical support for the development of green economy [ 30 , 31 ]. The concept of green development is currently considered to encompass economic systems, natural systems, and social systems, namely a model of social development in which environmental economic growth is not achieved at the expense of the environment and people’s health [ 32 ].…”

Understanding the Value of Tourism to Seniors’ Health and Positive Aging

“…Programs of this type can lead to increased recognition of the individual value of seniors, and the need to fund programs that support the building of positive relationships, and strengthen the transmission of positive psychological behaviors. This study also provides practical implications for the diversified development of the senior tourism market and recreation tourism, reflecting the pursuit of "self-fulfillment" values of seniors, positively reversing the image of senior public health groups, providing more possibilities for active aging, and serving as a model for the unaged [48]. The positive change in the image of the public health community will also have a positive effect on the communication effect of public health, highlighting the role of positive psychology and behavior, and changing the traditional and homogeneous perception of senior tourists in the existing market.…”

Online Rumor Diffusion Model Based on Variation and Silence Phenomenon in the Context of COVID-19

“…The next stage will study the interaction between individuals at the micro level in the context of the spread of epidemic rumors. In the future, the research results can be applied into various fields including personalized recommendation (33)(34)(35), anomaly detection (36,37), sustainable tourism (38,39), personal health (40), and so on. manuscript.…”
