Annotating semantic tags of locations in location-based social networks

GeoInformatica, 2019
Location-based social networks (LBSNs) have become popular platforms that allow users to share their check-in activities with friends. Annotating semantic tags of locations, as one of the hottest research topics in LBSNs, has attracted considerable attention. Semantic annotation requires sufficient location features to train classifiers.

Exploiting mobility for location promotion in location-based social networks

2014 International Conference on Data Science and Advanced Analytics (DSAA), 2014
In this paper, we target the location promotion problem in location-based social networks (LBSNs). The location promotion problem is given a location, we select a set of users as seeds to influence as many users as possible who are likely to visit a selected location.

A novel approach for location promotion on location-based social networks

The 2015 IEEE RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies - Research, Innovation, and Vision for Future (RIVF), 2015
Maximizing the spread of influence was recently studied in several models of social networks. For location-based social networks, it also plays an important role, so a further research about this field is necessary. In this study, based on users' movement histories and their friendships, we first design the Predicting Mobility in the Near Future (PMNF)
