Understanding User Preferences in Location-Based Social Networks via a Novel Self-Attention Mechanism

Résumé

The check-in behaviors of users are ubiquitous in location-based social networks in urban living. Understanding user preferences is critical to improving the recommendation services of social platforms. In addition, great quality of recommendation is also beneficial to sustainable urban living since the user can easily find the point of interest (POI) to visit, which avoids unnecessary consumption, such as a longer time taken for searching or driving. To capture user preferences from their check-in behaviors, advanced methods transform historical records into graph structure data and further leverage graph deep learning-based techniques to learn user preferences. Despite their effectiveness, existing graph deep learning-based methods are limited to the capture of the deep graph’s structural information due to inherent limitations, such as the over-smoothing problem in graph neural networks, further leading to suboptimal performance. To address the above issues, we propose a novel method built on Transformer architecture named spatiotemporal aware transformer (STAT) via a novel graphically aware attention mechanism. In addition, a new temporally aware sampling strategy is developed to reduce the computational cost and enable STAT to deal with large graphs. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets have demonstrated the superiority of the STAT compared to state-of-the-art POI recommendation methods.
