Abstract

point-of-interest recommendation probabilistic factor analysis model
Temporal information plays an important role in Point-ofInterest (POI) recommendations. Most existing studies model the temporal influence by utilizing the observed check-in time stamps explicitly. With the conjecture that transition intervals between successive checkins may carry more information for diversified behavior patterns, we propose a probabilistic factor analysis model to incorporate three components, namely, personal preference, distance preference, and transition interval preference. They are modeled by an observed third-rank transition tensor, a distance constraint, and a continuous latent variable, respectively. In our framework, the POI recommendation and the transition interval for user's very next move can be inferred simultaneously by maximizing the posterior probability of the overall transitions. Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is used to tune the model parameters. We demonstrate that the proposed methodology achieves substantial gains in terms of prediction on next move and its expected time over state-of-the-art baselines.
