The location-based social networks (LBSN) facilitate 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 paper, we propose a random walk based context-aware friend recommendation algorithm (RWCFR). RWCFR considers the current context (i.e. current social relations, personal preferences and current location) of the user to provide personalized recommendations. Our LBSN model is an undirected unweighted graph model that represents users, locations, and their relationships. We build a graph according to the current context of the user depending on this LBSN model. In order to rank the recommendation scores of the users for friend recommendation, a random walk with restart approach is employed. We compare RWCFR with popularity-based, friend-based and expert-based baseline approaches. According to the results, our friend recommendation algorithm outperforms these approaches in all the tests.

Context-aware location recommendation by using a random walk-based approach
Bagci, Hakan; Karagöz, Pınar (2016-05-01)
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 paper, we propose a context-aware location recommendation system for LBSNs using a random walk approach. Our proposed approach considers the current context (i.e., current social relations, personal preferences and current location) of the user to provide personalized ...
TRUST-AWARE LOCATION RECOMMENDATION IN LOCATION-BASED SOCIAL NETWORKS
Cantürk, Deniz; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-8-9)
Users can share their location with other social network users through location-embedded information in LBSNs (Location-Based Social Network). LBSNs contain useful resources, such as user check-in activities, for building a personalized recommender system. Trust in social networks is another important concept that has been integrated into a recommendation system in various settings. In this thesis, we propose two novel techniques for location recommendation, TLoRW and SgWalk, to improve recommendation perfo...
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...
Trust-aware location recommendation in location-based social networks: A graph-based approach
Canturk, Deniz; Karagöz, Pınar; Kim, Sang-Wook; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı (2023-03-01)
© 2022 Elsevier LtdWith the increase in the use of mobile devices having location-related capabilities, the use of Location-Based Social Networks (LBSN) has also increased, allowing users to share location-embedded information with other users in the social network. By leveraging check-in activities provided by LBSNs, personalized recommendations can be provided. Trust is an important concept in social networks to improve recommendation quality. In this work, we develop a method for predicting the trust sco...
Time Preference aware Dynamic Recommendation Enhanced with Location, Social Network and Temporal Information
Ozsoy, Makbule Gulcin; Polat, Faruk; Alhajj, Reda (2016-08-21)
Social networks and location based social networks have many active users who provide various kind of data, such as where they have been, who their friends are, which items they like more, when they go to a venue. Location, social network and temporal information provided by them can be used by recommendation systems to give more accurate suggestions. Also, recommendation systems can provide dynamic recommendations based on the users' preferences, such that they can give different recommendations for differ...
