 ABSTRACT

Big data increasingly benefit both research and industrial area such as
health care, finance service and commercial recommendation. This paper presents
a personalized travel sequence recommendation from both travelogues and
community- contributed photos and the heterogeneous metadata (e.g., tags, geo-
location, and date taken) associated with these photos. Unlike most existing travel
recommendation approaches, our approach is not only personalized to user’s travel
interest but also able to recommend a travel sequence rather than individual Points
of Interest (POIs). Topical package space including representative tags, the
distributions of cost, visiting time and visiting season of each topic, is mined to
bridge the vocabulary gap between user travel preference and travel routes. We
take advantage of the complementary of two kinds of social media: travelogue and
community- contributed photos. We map both user’s and routes’ textual
descriptions to the topical package space to get user topical package model and
route topical package model (i.e., topical interest, cost, time and season). To
recommend personalized POI sequence, first, famous routes are ranked according
to the similarity between user package and route package. Then top ranked routes
are further optimized by social similar users’ travel records. Representative images
with viewpoint and seasonal diversity of POIs are shown to offer a more
comprehensive impression. We evaluate our recommendation system on a
collection of 7 million Flickr images uploaded by 7,387 users and 24,008
travelogues covering 864 travel POIs in nine famous cities, and show its
effectiveness. We also contribute a new dataset with more than 200 K photos with
heterogeneous metadata in nine famous cities.
