Abstract

To address the insufficient of mining geographical feature and the absence of incorporating sequential information into spatial preferences in existing Points-of-Interest (POI) recommendation methods, we propose a POI recommendation model based on Spatial-Temporal Enhancement of Sequence Graph and Geographical Relationships (STESGGR) . Firstly, the model constructs a geographic graph using the location information of POIs and employ Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) combined with attention mechanisms to capture the geographical features of user visits to POIs. Secondly, it extracts spatio-temporal features from user check-in information to construct a sequence graph enhanced with spatio-temporal information and apply Gated Graph Neural Networks (GGNN) combined with attention mechanisms to capture the spatio-temporal preferences of users visiting POIs. Then, it introduces a common learning optimization framework to learn the complementary information between sequential information and geographical features, further mining geographical characteristics. Finally, it fuses the two types of feature information for POI recommendations through a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) . Experiments on five real-world datasets demonstrate that the STESGGR model improves by 1.2%-2.7% in AUC and 3.2%-12.4% in Logloss metrics. The results validate that STESGGR performs well in location-based POI recommendations, effectively mining sequential and geographical features and enhancing the recommendation performance.
