    In recent years, geographic information service and relevant social media become more popular, some geographic point may interest people, e.g. scenic spot or famous store, naming as a point-of-interest (POI). However, the number of POI contributing by social media grows exponentially which causing a searching problem. How to recommend a POI to a user/tourist becomes a challenge. This study proposes an intelligent system using density-based clustering and genetic algorithm to recommend a POIs solution for tourism planning. Density-based clustering identifies candidate POIs. Skyline method decides a superior POI from candidate POIs by dominant of multiple attributes. Genetic algorithm optimizes the recommendation solution. The contribution is to get a tourism POI solution from a huge amount of candidate POIs based on user/tourist preferences. An experimental system implementation is in progress. In future, we will use open data from Google map and Foursquare to proof the proposed system mechanism effectiveness

    Travel Package Recommendation

    Location Based SocialNetworks (LBSN) benefit the users by allowing them to share their locations and life moments with their friends. The users can also review the locations they have visited. Classical recommender systems provide users a ranked list of single items. This is not suitable for applications like trip planning,where the recommendations should contain multiple items in an appropriate sequence. The problem of generating such recommendations is challenging due to various critical aspects, which includes user interest, budget constraints and high sparsity in the available data used to solve the problem. In this paper, we propose a graph based approach to recommend a set of personalized travel packages. Each recommended package comprises of a sequence of multiple Point of Interests (POIs). Given the current location and spatio-temporal constraints, our goal is to recommend a package which satisfies the constraints. This approach utilizes the data collected fromLBSNs to learn user preferences and also models the location popularity

    Geoinformatics in Citizen Science

    The book features contributions that report original research in the theoretical, technological, and social aspects of geoinformation methods, as applied to supporting citizen science. Specifically, the book focuses on the technological aspects of the field and their application toward the recruitment of volunteers and the collection, management, and analysis of geotagged information to support volunteer involvement in scientific projects. Internationally renowned research groups share research in three areas: First, the key methods of geoinformatics within citizen science initiatives to support scientists in discovering new knowledge in specific application domains or in performing relevant activities, such as reliable geodata filtering, management, analysis, synthesis, sharing, and visualization; second, the critical aspects of citizen science initiatives that call for emerging or novel approaches of geoinformatics to acquire and handle geoinformation; and third, novel geoinformatics research that could serve in support of citizen science

    UniRecSys: A Unified Framework for Personalized, Group, Package, and Package-to-Group Recommendations

    Recommender systems aim to enhance the overall user experience by providing tailored recommendations for a variety of products and services. These systems help users make more informed decisions, leading to greater user satisfaction with the platform. However, the implementation of these systems largely depends on the context, which can vary from recommending an item or package to a user or a group. This requires careful exploration of several models during the deployment, as there is no comprehensive and unified approach that deals with recommendations at different levels. Furthermore, these individual models must be closely attuned to their generated recommendations depending on the context to prevent significant variation in their generated recommendations. In this paper, we propose a novel unified recommendation framework that addresses all four recommendation tasks, namely personalized, group, package, or package-to-group recommendation, filling the gap in the current research landscape. The proposed framework can be integrated with most of the traditional matrix factorization-based collaborative filtering models. The idea is to enhance the formulation of the existing approaches by incorporating components focusing on the exploitation of the group and package latent factors. These components also help in exploiting a rich latent representation of the user/item by enforcing them to align closely with their corresponding group/package representation. We consider two prominent CF techniques, Regularized Matrix Factorization and Maximum Margin Matrix factorization, as the baseline models and demonstrate their customization to various recommendation tasks. Experiment results on two publicly available datasets are reported, comparing them to other baseline approaches that consider individual rating feedback for group or package recommendations.Comment: 25 page
