Abstract
With the rapid growth of location-based social networks (LBSNs), the task of next Point Of Interest (POI) recommendation has become a trending research topic as it provides key information for users to explore unknown places. However, most of the state-of-the-art next POI recommendation systems came short to consider the multiple heterogeneous factors of both POIs and users to recommend the next targeted location. Furthermore, the cold-start problem is one of the most thriving challenges in traditional recommender systems. In this paper, we introduce a new Scalable Knowledge Graph Embedding Model for the next POI recommendation problem called Skgem. The main originality of the latter is that it relies on a neural network-based embedding method (node2vec) that aims to automatically learn low-dimensional node representations to formulate and incorporate all heterogeneous factors into one contextual directed graph. Moreover, it provides various POIs recommendation groups for cold-start users, e.g., nearby, by time, by tag, etc. Experiments, carried out on a location-based social network (Flickr) dataset collected in the city of Tallinn (Estonia), demonstrate that our approach achieves better results and sharply outperforms the baseline methods.
