What Your Next Check-in Might Look Like: Next Check-in Behavior Prediction

Published: 14 November 2023 Publication History

Abstract

In recent years, the next-POI recommendation has become a trending research topic in the field of trajectory data mining. For protection of user privacy, users’ complete GPS trajectories are difficult to obtain. The check-in information posted by users on social networks has become an important data source for Spatio-temporal Trajectory research. However, state-of-the-art methods neglect the social meaning and the information dissemination function of check-in behavior. The social meaning is an important reason why users are willing to post check-in on social networks, and the information dissemination function means, users can affect each other’s behavior by check-ins. The above characteristics of the check-in behavior make it different from the visiting behavior. We consider a new problem of predicting the next check-in behavior including the check-in time, the POI (point-of-interest) where the check-in is located, functional semantics of the POI, and so on. To solve the proposed problem, we build a multi-task learning model called DPMTM, and a pre-training module is designed to extract dynamic social semantics of check-in behaviors. Our results show that the DPMTM model works well in the check-in behavior problem.
