Resumen
Travel location recommendation methods using community-contributed geotagged photos are based on past check-ins. Therefore, these methods cannot effectively work for new travel locations, i.e., they suffer from the travel location cold start problem. In this study, we propose a convolutional neural network and matrix factorization-based travel location recommendation method to address the problem. Specifically, a weighted matrix factorization method is used to obtain the latent factor representations of travel locations. The latent factor representation for a new travel location is estimated from its photos by using a convolutional neural network. Experimental results on a Flickr dataset demonstrate that the proposed method can provide better recommendations than existing methods.
