Location-Based Social Networks Yu Zheng and Xing Xie Microsoft Research Asia Chapter 8 and 9 of the book Computing with Spatial Trajectories

Outline Chapter 8 (Location-based social networks: Users) – Concepts, definition, and research philosophy – Modeling user location history – Computing user similarity based on location history – Friend recommendation and community discovery Chapter 9 (Location-based social networks: Locations) – Generic travel recommendations Mining interesting locations and travel sequences Trip planning and itinerary recommendation Location-activity recommendation – Personalized travel recommendation User-based collaborative filtering Item-based collaborative filtering Open challenges

Social Networks “A social network is a social structure made up of individuals connected by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as friendship, common interests, and shared knowledge.” 3

Social Networking Services A social networking service builds on and reflects the real-life social networks among people through online platforms such as a website, providing ways for users to share ideas, activities, events, and interests over the Internet. 4

Locations Location-acquisition technologies Outdoor: GPS, GSM, CDMA, … Indoor: Wi-Fi, RFID, supersonic, … Representation of locations Absolute (latitude-longitude coordinates) Relative (100 meters north of the Space Needle) Symbolic (home, office, or shopping mall) Forms of locations Point locations Regions Trajectories 5

Locations + Social Networks Add a new dimension to social networks Geo-tagged user-generated media: texts, photos, and videos, etc. Recording location history of users Location is a new object in the network Bridging the gap between the virtual and physical worlds Sharing real-world experiences online Consume online information in the physical world 6

Examples 7 Physical world Virtual world Sharing & Understanding Generating & Consuming Interactions

Location-Based Social Networks 8 Sharing Understanding Sharing Geo-tagged media Virtual  Physical worlds Understanding User interests/preferences Location property User-user, location-location, user-location correlations Locations Social networks Locations An new dimension: Geo-tag An new object Social networks Expanding social structures Recommendations Users Locations media

Data + Intelligence Third Party Services Microsoft Services Data  Information  Knowledge  Intelligence Scenarios - Understanding

Location-Based Social Networks (LBSN) 11 not only mean adding a location to an existing social network so that people in the social structure can share location-embedded information, but also consists of the new social structure made up of individuals connected by the interdependency derived from their locations in the physical world as well as their location-tagged media content Here, the physical location consists of the instant location of an individual at a given timestamp and the location history that an individual has accumulated in a certain period. The interdependency includes not only that two persons co-occur in the same physical location or share similar location histories but also the knowledge, e.g., common interests, behavior, and activities, inferred from an individual’s location (history) and location-tagged data. From Book “Computing With Spatial Trajectories”

Location-Activity Recommendation

Goal: To Answer 2 Typical Questions 31 Q2: where should I go if I want to do something? (Location recommendation given activity query) Q1: what can I do there if I visit some place? (Activity recommendation given location query)

Problem Data sparseness ( <0.6% entries are filled) 32 Activities Locations 5?? ?1? 1?6 Forbidden City TourismExhibitionShopping Bird’s Nest Zhongguancun ?

Solution Collaborative filtering with collective matrix factorization – Low rank approximation, by minimizing where U, V and W are the low-dimensional representations for the locations, activities and location features, respectively. I is an indicatory matrix. 33
