ABSTRACT
We propose a method to predict a user's favourite locations in a city, based on his Flickr geotags in other cities. We define a similarity between the geotag distributions of two users based on a Gaussian kernel convolution. The geotags of the most similar users are then combined to rerank the popular locations in the target city personalised for this user.
We show that this method can give personalised travel recommendations for users with a clear preference for a specific type of landmark.

Extracting Representative Tags for Flickr Users
ICDMW '10: Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining WorkshopsTags are very popular in online social communities (like You tube, Flickr) and provide valuable and crucial information for these communities. But at the same time, there exist a lot of noisy tags, which leads many researches to tag suggestion, tag ...
Personalized intra- and inter-city travel recommendation using large-scale geotags
GeoMM '13: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international workshop on Geotagging and its applications in multimediaIn this paper, a geotag-based inter- and intra-city travel recommendation system that considers both the personal preference and the seasonal/temporal popularity is presented. For the inter-city recommendation, a combination of two similarity measure ...
Mining Tags from Flickr User Comments Using a Hybrid Ranking Model
ICSS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Service ScienceIn the Web2.0 era, user generated content has become the main source of information of many popular websites such as Flickr. In Flickr, each user can share his/her photos and browse others' easily. Tagging system is an important approach to the photo ...
