Online social networks collect information from users' social
contacts and their daily interactions (co-tagging of photos,
co-rating of products etc.) to provide them with recommendations of
new products or friends. Lately, technological progressions in
mobile devices (i.e. smart phones) enabled the incorporation of
geo-location data in the traditional web-based online social
networks, bringing the new era of Social and Mobile Web. The goal
of this book is to bring together important research in a new
family of recommender systems aimed at serving Location-based
Social Networks (LBSNs). The chapters introduce a wide variety of
recent approaches, from the most basic to the state-of-the-art, for
providing recommendations in LBSNs. The book is organized into
three parts. Part 1 provides introductory material on recommender
systems, online social networks and LBSNs. Part 2 presents a wide
variety of recommendation algorithms, ranging from basic to cutting
edge, as well as a comparison of the characteristics of these
recommender systems. Part 3 provides a step-by-step case study on
the technical aspects of deploying and evaluating a real-world
LBSN, which provides location, activity and friend recommendations.
The material covered in the book is intended for graduate students,
teachers, researchers, and practitioners in the areas of web data
mining, information retrieval, and machine learning.
