Heterogeneous graph-based joint representation learning for users and POIs in location-based social network

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a novel framework for representation learning in LBSN by building a heterogeneous LBSN graph. This heterogeneous graph enables a joint modeling of various contextual factors including geographical influence, social relationship and temporal information.

• We devise a simple yet effective method to estimate three kinds of node-to-node relatedness, which jointly consider various contextual factors to better reflect the user spatial behavior and their social relationships.

• Through extensive experiments on two publicly available datasets, we show that the proposed UP2VEC can achieve significantly improvement in POI recommendation and social link prediction.
