Personalized region of interest recommendation through adaptive fusion of multi-dimensional user preferences by Qing Tang, Shenghua Xu, Zhuolu Wang, Yong Wang, Shichuan Liu, Haiqin Hua

“…This process involves analyzing users’ historical check-in data within location networks, which helps capture spatial activity preferences and predict regional movement patterns. To address challenges such as the limited diversity in behavioral distances between user regions, the lack of spatio-temporal correlation in non-contiguous regions, and an inadequate understanding of the variety of user preferences, we examine these preferences from three perspectives: spatio-temporal, social, and category. …”
