Learning Points and Routes to Recommend Trajectories
The problem of recommending tours to travellers is an important and broadly
studied area. Suggested solutions include various approaches of
points-of-interest (POI) recommendation and route planning. We consider the
task of recommending a sequence of POIs, that simultaneously uses information
about POIs and routes. Our approach unifies the treatment of various sources of
information by representing them as features in machine learning algorithms,
enabling us to learn from past behaviour. Information about POIs are used to
learn a POI ranking model that accounts for the start and end points of tours.
Data about previous trajectories are used for learning transition patterns
between POIs that enable us to recommend probable routes. In addition, a
probabilistic model is proposed to combine the results of POI ranking and the
POI to POI transitions. We propose a new F score on pairs of POIs that
capture the order of visits. Empirical results show that our approach improves
on recent methods, and demonstrate that combining points and routes enables
better trajectory recommendations
