ABSTRACT
Most online activities are associated with geographical locations. For example, people write personal blogs about interesting places they have ever been to; read news about important local events; and search the web to find delicious restaurants. Mining geographical knowledge from these online activities can greatly benefit lots of web applications. In this paper, we propose a Location Aware Topic Model (LATM), a probabilistic graphical model, to explicitly model the relationships between locations and words. Experiments on several data sets, including news and blogs, showed satisfactory results.

Geo topic model: joint modeling of user's activity area and interests for location recommendation
WSDM '13: Proceedings of the sixth ACM international conference on Web search and data miningThis paper proposes a method that analyzes the location log data of multiple users to recommend locations to be visited. The method uses our new topic model, called Geo Topic Model, that can jointly estimate both the user's interests and activity area ...
Topic-based User Profile Model for POI Recommendations
ISMSI '18: Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Metaheuristics & Swarm IntelligenceLocation-based services (LBSs) provide users with points of interest (POIs) based on a limited distance from the user current location. Recently, the increased number of POIs in LBSs often results in overwhelming place suggestions generated to users ...
