ABSTRACT
In this paper we propose TripBuilder, a new framework for personalized touristic tour planning. We mine from Flickr the information about the actual itineraries followed by a multitude of different tourists, and we match these itineraries on the touristic Point of Interests available from Wikipedia. The task of planning personalized touristic tours is then modeled as an instance of the Generalized Maximum Coverage problem. Wisdom-of-the-crowds information allows us to derive touristic plans that maximize a measure of interest for the tourist given her preferences and visiting time-budget. Experimental results on three different touristic cities show that our approach is effective and outperforms strong baselines.

Recommendations
A User Study on Groups Interacting with Tourist Trip Recommender Systems in Public Spaces
UMAP '19: Proceedings of the 27th ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and PersonalizationTourist groups exploring a city often face the problem of finding a sequence of points of interest that satisfies all group members. In this work, we present three different configurations of a group recommender system that suggests such trips even when ...
A neural multi-context modeling framework for personalized attraction recommendation
AbstractIn attraction recommendation scenarios, how to model multifaceted tourism contexts so as to accurately learn tourist preferences and attraction tourism features is a keystone of generating personalized recommendations. However, most of existing ...
