Abstract:

Predicting the popularity of Point of Interest (POI) has become increasingly crucial for location-
based services, such as POI recommendation. Most of the existing methods can seldom achieve
satisfactory performance due to the scarcity of POI’s information, which tendentiously confines
the recommendation to popular scene spots, and ignores the unpopular attractions with
potentially precious values. In this paper, we propose a novel approach, termed Hierarchical
Multi-Clue Fusion (HMCF), for predicting the popularity of POIs. Specifically, in order to cope
with the problem of data scarcity, we propose to comprehensively describe POI using various
types of user generated content (UGC) (e.g., text and image) from multiple sources. Then, we
devise an effective POI modeling method in a hierarchical manner, which simultaneously injects
semantic knowledge as well as multi-clue representative power into POIs.
