Abstract

In recent years, event-based social network (EBSN) platforms have increasingly entered people’s daily life and become more and more popular. In EBSNs, event recommendation is a typical problem which recommends interested events to users. Different from traditional social networks, both online and off-line factors play an important role in EBSNs. However, the existing methods do not make full use of the online and off-line information, which may lead to a low accuracy, and they are also not efficient enough. In this paper, we propose a novel event recommendation model to solve the above shortcomings. At first, a feature extraction phase is constructed to make full use of the EBSN information, including spatial feature, temporal feature, semantic feature, social feature and historical feature. And then, we transform the recommendation problem to a classification problem and ELM is extended as the classifier in the model. Extensive experiments are conducted on real EBSN datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that our approach is efficient and has a better performance than the existing methods.
