Location-based social network as one of the platforms in this field has been providing services and facilities to enhance user experience to explore their surroundings and new places. Among current services, point of interest (POI) recommendation and activity recommendation draws significant attention of users, which makes it a potential field of the study. However, despite of all the developments performed in this field, activity recommendation system still requires further improvements, since only a few related studies concentrated on this topic so far. In order to develop the activity recommendation system, in this work two approaches are presented, using different ideas by extending existing location-based collaborative filtering (CF) recommendation models. One of them focuses on the temporal feature of the data and the other one emphasizes on the correlation between activities to estimate the probability of selecting each activity. The proposed methods are evaluated on a medium-scale real data set obtained by combining the Gowalla and Foursqaure. The experimental results confirm that both methods remarkably outperform the basic CF model.

Developing recommendation techniques for location based social networks using random walk Bağcı, Hakan; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) The location-based social networks (LBSN) enable users to check-in their current location and share it with other users. The accumulated check-in data can be employed for the benefit of users by providing personalized recommendations. In this thesis, we propose three recommendation algorithms for location-based social networks. These are random walk based context-aware location (CLoRW), activity (RWCAR) and friend (RWCFR) recommendation algorithms. All the algorithms consider the current context (i.e. curre...
Efficient and Versatile FPGA Acceleration of Support Counting for Stream Mining of Sequences and Frequent Itemsets PROSTBOUCLE, Adrien; PETROT, Frederic; LEROY, Vincent; Alemdar, Hande (2017-01-01) Stream processing has become extremely popular for analyzing huge volumes of data for a variety of applications, including IoT, social networks, retail, and software logs analysis. Streams of data are produced continuously and are mined to extract patterns characterizing the data. A class of data mining algorithm, called generate-and-test, produces a set of candidate patterns that are then evaluated over data. The main challenges of these algorithms are to achieve high throughput, low latency, and reduced p...
A Graph-based core model and a hybrid recommender system for TV users Taşcı, Arda; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) This thesis proposes a core model to represent user profiles in a graph-based environment which can be the base of different recommender system approaches as well as other cutting edge applications for TV domain. The proposed graph-based core model is explained in detail with node types, properties and edge weight metrics. The capabilities of this core model are described in detail. Moreover, in this thesis, a hybrid recommender system based on this core model is presented with its design, development and e...
An Investigation into user experience of mobile passenger systems Kökcü Çetin, Selcen; Özgen Koçyıldırım, Dalsu; Department of Industrial Design (2019) With the developments in information and communication technologies, the use of mobile apps has increased significantly in many areas, one of which is transportation. Transportation, especially in urban environments, is a very current and prominent issue, with the ever-increasing size of the cities requiring more roads and more vehicles, while traffic congestions worsens day by day. Therefore, urban residents want to choose the most convenient and the least time-consuming way to complete their journeys. Mob...
Mobile user data mining to infer knowledge workers' differences in office environments for effective health delivery Çavdar, Şeyma; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2019) Owing to the widespread and ubiquitous nature of mobile technologies, a large amount of data about users including location, access and interaction behavior is currently available. This data has recently become important as it has the potential to reveal personal information, social context and user characteristics, which can be significant for effective health interventions through mobile phones. Accordingly, this thesis mainly aims to explore the individual differences of knowledge workers and social cont...
