Definition

Check-in service is a feature of location-based social networks, such as Foursquare, that is used for announcing a person’s arrival at a point of interest with precise coordinates and rich semantic and content information. Due to the growing popularity of location-based social networks, a vast number of user check-ins have been accumulated. Based on this data, users’ preferences can be learned and it is possible to predict or change future visiting locations for users. Mobile check-in recommendation is one such technique that places an emphasis on helping users to change their routines for discovering novel locations. Therefore, it is an important method for helping people to speed up their familiarization with their surroundings, especially when they arrive at new places. From the more technical perspective, it is a specific type of location recommendation, which includes a subclass of...
