A new model to integrate additional data, which is obtained from geospatial resources other than original data set, is presented in order to improve Location/Activity recommendations.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new model to integrate additional data, which is obtained from geospatial resources other than original data set in order to improve Location/Activity recommendations. The data set that is used in this work is a GPS trajectory of some users, which is gathered over 2 years. In order to have more accurate predictions and recommendations, we present a model that injects additional information to the main data set and we aim to apply a mathematical method on the merged data. On the merged data set, singular value decomposition technique is applied to extract latent relations. Several tests have been conducted, and the results of our proposed method are compared with a similar work for the same data set.

This chapter surveys the space of two-part hybrid recommender systems, comparing four different recommendation techniques and seven different hybridization strategies and finds that cascade and augmented hybrids work well, especially when combining two components of differing strengths.

Collaborative location and activity recommendations with GPS history data
