Utilization of Real Time Behavior and Geographical Attraction for Location Recommendation

Personalized location recommendation is an increasingly active topic in recent years, which recommends appropriate locations to users based on their temporal and geospatial visiting patterns. Current location recommendation methods usually estimate the users’ visiting preference probabilities from the historical check-ins in batch. However, in practice, when users’ behaviors are updated in real-time, it is often cost-inhibitive to re-estimate and updates users’ visiting preference using the same batch methods due to the number of check-ins. Moreover, an important nature of users’ movement patterns is that users are more attracted to an area where have dense locations with same categories for conducting specific behaviors. In this paper, we propose a location recommendation method called GeoRTGA by utilizing the real time user behaviors and geographical attractions to tackle the problems. GeoRTGA contains two sub-models: real time behavior recommendation model and attraction-based spatial model. The real time behavior recommendation model aims to recommend real-time possible behaviors which users prefer to visit, and the attraction-based spatial model is built to discover the category-based spatial and individualized spatial patterns based on the geographical information of locations and corresponding location categories and check-in numbers. Experiments are conducted on four public real-world check-in datasets, which show that the proposed GeoRTGA outperforms the five existing location recommendation methods.

Personal Privacy Data Protection in Location Recommendation System

At present, there are many location-based recommendation algorithms and systems, including location calculation, route calculation, and so on. However, in the general information data publishing, the privacy issues in the published data have not been fully paid attention to and protected. The purpose of this article is to investigate the effectiveness of personal privacy data protection in location recommendation systems. This paper first introduces the basis and importance of research on data security and secrecy, analyses personal privacy issues in data publishing in the era of big data, summarizes the research status in the field of security and secrecy at home and abroad, and introduces the process of data security and the role of users in it. Then, some classic privacy security modules in this field are introduced, and the privacy of data storage security concepts in the current situation mentioned in this paper is analyzed. A geographic location-based privacy protection scheme in mobile cloud is proposed. Privacy analysis, sensitive attribute generalization information analysis, route synthesis analysis and related experiments are performed on the location recommendation system. The experimental results show that the scheme proposed in this paper is more secure and has less loss of data availability.

A Higher-Order Graph Convolutional Network for Location Recommendation of an Air-Quality-Monitoring Station

The location recommendation of an air-quality-monitoring station is a prerequisite for inferring the air-quality distribution in urban areas. How to use a limited number of monitoring equipment to accurately infer air quality depends on the location of the monitoring equipment. In this paper, our main objective was how to recommend optimal monitoring-station locations based on existing ones to maximize the accuracy of a air-quality inference model for inferring the air-quality distribution of an entire urban area. This task is challenging for the following main reasons: (1) air-quality distribution has spatiotemporal interactions and is affected by many complex external influential factors, such as weather and points of interest (POIs), and (2) how to effectively correlate the air-quality inference model with the monitoring station location recommendation model so that the recommended station can maximize the accuracy of the air-quality inference model. To solve the aforementioned challenges, we formulate the monitoring station location as an urban spatiotemporal graph (USTG) node recommendation problem in which each node represents a region with time-varying air-quality values. We design an effective air-quality inference model-based proposed high-order graph convolution (HGCNInf) that could capture the spatiotemporal interaction of air-quality distribution and could extract external influential factor features. Furthermore, HGCNInf can learn the correlation degree between the nodes in USTG that reflects the spatiotemporal changes in air quality. Based on the correlation degree, we design a greedy algorithm for minimizing information entropy (GMIE) that aims to mark the recommendation priority of unlabeled nodes according to the ability to improve the inference accuracy of HGCNInf through the node incremental learning method. Finally, we recommend the node with the highest priority as the new monitoring station location, which could bring about the greatest accuracy improvement to HGCNInf.

Locus recommendation using probabilistic matrix factorization techniques

Introduction: The present paper is the outcome of the research “Locus Recommendation using Probabilistic Matrix Factorization Techniques” carried out in Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies, India in the year 2019-20. Methodology: Matrix factorization is a model-based collaborative technique for recommending new items to the users. Results: Experimental results on two real-world LBSNs showed that PFM consistently outperforms PMF. This is because the technique is based on gamma distribution to the model user and item matrix. Using gamma distribution is reasonable for check-in frequencies which are all positive in real datasets. However, PMF is based on Gaussian distribution that can allow negative frequency values as well. Conclusion: The motive of the work is to identify the best technique for recommending locations with the highest accuracy and allow users to choose from a plethora of available locations; the best and interesting location based on the individual’s profile. Originality: A rigorous analysis of Probabilistic Matrix Factorization techniques has been performed on popular LBSNs and the best technique for location recommendation has been identified by comparing the accuracy viz RMSE, Precision@N, Recall@N, F1@N of different models. Limitations: User’s contextual information like demographics, social and geographical preferences have not been considered while evaluating the efficiency of probabilistic matrix factorization techniques for POI Recommendations.

Analisis Sistem Informasi Geografis untuk Penentuan Lokasi Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir Sampah di Kabupaten Lombok Timur

The increase of population in East Lombok Regency has an effect on the increase in the volume of waste, while the existing Waste Final Processing Sites (WFPS) are no longer able to accommodate the increasing volume of waste. The government also has not yet received a suitable location recommendation for the construction of a new WFPS, therefore it is very important to carry out a suitability analysis for the establishment of a new WFPS in East Lombok Regency to overcome the high volume of waste in the old WFPS. This study aims to determine a suitable location for WFPS development. This research is a quantitative descriptive study based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Determination of parameters for the analysis of the suitability of WFPS locations using the Indonesian National Standard (INS) Number 03-3241-1994. Data analysis technique uses overlay several maps using ArcGIS version 10.1 application. The analysis process is divided into three stages, namely: 1) the regional stage, which is the initial selection stage to determine the land suitability class; 2) the elimination stage, at this stage the elimination is carried out from the results in the first stage by using the values and weights of general parameters and physical parameters; 3) the appropriate location recommendation phase. Based on the results of data analysis, it is known that the suitable location to become WFPS in East Lombok Regency is Pringgabaya District with 164 score. Keywords: GIS analysis, WFPS,Lombok Timur
