- Abstract:

In location-based social networks, a hot research topic is the development of methods for making accurate recommendations to users by taking advantage of the coupling relationships between user attributes (or features) and points of interest (POIs). Current POI recommendation approaches mainly leverage the matrix factorization technique based on user ratings of POIs. These approaches routinely confront the problem of rating matrix sparsity, and do not consider the coupling relationships between the respective attributes, such as the descriptive information and comments of users and POIs. In this paper, we propose a POI recommendation framework based on a deep neural network. First, a K-means algorithm is used to cluster POIs by their geographical locations, so that POIs with high location proximity are grouped into one category. Then, a convolutional neural network model is designed to identify the explicit correlations between the respective attributes of users and POIs, for example, the correlation between the age of users and the location of POIs. Another neural network model is designed to simulate the matrix factorization method in machine learning. This model can examine the implicit relationships between users and POIs based on the users’ POI check-in data. Lastly, the explicit and implicit relationships between users and POIs are integrated to comprehensively represent the user-POI coupling relationships. The learned user-POI coupling relationships are input into a fully connected network for recommendation. The proposed model was evaluated on the Yelp data set, and the experimental results show that it achieves high recommendation accuracy.
