Abstract

Selecting relevant travel attractions for a given user is a real and important problem from both a travellers’s and a travel supplier’s perspectives. Knowledge graphs have been used to conduct recommendations of music artists, movie and books. In this paper, we identify how knowledge graphs might be efficiently leveraged to recommend travel attractions. We improve two main drawbacks in existing systems where semantic information is exploited: fusion of multisource heterogeneous data and lack of spatial-temporal. Accordingly, we constructed a rich travel spatial-temporal knowledge graph from Baidupedia, Interactive Encyclopedia and Wikipedia. We proposed a methodnamed TSTKG4Rec to model the knowledge graph, it included two steps, attraction2Vec to model the feature attributes of attractions in the knowledge graph, and track2Vec to model the spatial-temporal semantics of the knowledge graph. Then, we obtained attraction vectors and user vectors fused with feature attributes of attractions and spatial-temporal semantics. At last we calculate the correlation between tourists and attractions with cosine similarity to give a list of recommendations. Our evaluation on real travel spatial-temporal knowledge graph showed that our approach improvement in terms of recall and MRR compared with the state-of-the-art approach.
