Title
Spatial-Temporal Distance Metric Embedding for Time-Specific POI Recommendation.
Abstract
With the growing popularity of location-based social networks (LBSNs), time-specific POI recommendation has become important in recent years, which provides more accurate recommendation services for users in specific spatio-temporal contexts. In this paper, we propose a spatio-temporal distance metric embedding model (ST-DME) for time-specific recommendation, which exploits both temporal and geo-sequential property of a check-in to effectively model users' time-specific preferences. Specifically, we divide timestamps of user' check-ins into different time slots and adopt Euclidean distance rather than inner product of latent vectors to measure users' preferences for POIs in a given time slot. We also apply a transition coefficient based on users' most recent check-ins to incorporate geo-sequential influence in users' check-in behaviors. A weighted pairwise loss with a hard sampling strategy is adopted to optimize latent vectors of users, POIs, and time slots in a metric space. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method and results show that ST-DME outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms for time-specific POI recommendation on two public LBSNs data sets.
