Abstract

The pervasive use of Location-based Social Networks calls for more precise Point-of-Interest recommendation. The probability of a user’s visit to a target place is influenced by multiple factors. Though there are several fusion models in such fields, heterogeneous information are not considered comprehensively. To this end, we propose a novel probabilistic latent factor model by jointly considering the social correlation, geographical influence and users’ preference. To be specific, a variant of Latent Dirichlet Allocation is leveraged to extract the topics of both user and POI from reviews which is denoted as explicit interest. Then, Probabilistic Latent Factor Model is introduced to depict the implicit interest. Moreover, Kernel Density Estimation and friend-based Collaborative Filtering are leveraged to model user’s geographic allocation and social correlation respectively. Thus, we propose CoSoLoRec, a fusion framework, to ameliorate the recommendation. Experiments on two real-word datasets show the superiority of our approach over the state-of-the-art methods.
