Abstract Point-of-interest (POI) recommendations in location-based social networks (LBSNs) have developed rapidly by incorporating feature information and deep learning methods. However, most studies have failed to accurately reflect different users’ preferences, in particular, the short-term preferences of inactive users. To better learn user preferences, in this study, we propose a long-short-term-preference-based adaptive successive POI recommendation (LSTP-ASR) method by combining trajectory sequence processing, long short-term preference learning, and spatiotemporal context. First, the check-in trajectory sequences are adaptively divided into recent and historical sequences according to a dynamic time window. Subsequently, an adaptive filling strategy is used to… More >

Abstract Prediction space of distinct check-in locations in Location-Based Social Networks is a challenge. In this paper, a thorough analysis of Foursquare Check-ins is done. Based on previous check-in sequences, next location of social-users is accurately predicted using multinomial-Hidden Markov Model (mHMM) with Steady-State probabilities. This information benefits security-agencies in tracking suspects and restaurant-owners to predict their customers’ arrivals at different venues on given days. Higher accuracy and Steady-State venuepopularities obtained for location-prediction using the proposed method, outperform various other baseline methods. More >
