指出景点推荐研究的三大缺陷并提出改进方向
Point of Interest Recommendation: Pitfalls and Viable Solutions
- 从数据、算法、评估三方面剖析现有推荐系统问题
- 揭示缺乏标准数据集和用户行为偏差等核心短板
- 适合关注真实场景落地的推荐系统研究者参考
地点推荐(POI)在丰富游客体验方面具有关键作用,可提供上下文相关且符合偏好的场所与活动建议,如餐厅、景点、行程及文化景观。与音乐、视频等常见推荐领域不同,POI推荐具有高风险特征:用户需投入大量时间、金钱与精力进行搜索、选择和消费。尽管已有众多研究成果,但若干基础性问题仍未解决,制约了方法的实际应用。本文系统分析了当前研究现状与主要挑战,首次从数据集、算法设计、评估方法三个维度识别出关键缺陷,包括缺乏标准化基准数据集、问题定义与模型设计中的错误假设,以及对用户行为与系统性能偏差的处理不足。其次,基于上述问题提出结构化研究议程,涵盖多利益相关方设计、情境感知、数据收集、可信度、新型交互方式与真实世界评估等未来方向。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Point of interest (POI) recommendation can play a pivotal role in enriching tourists' experiences by suggesting context-dependent and preference-matching locations and activities, such as restaurants, landmarks, itineraries, and cultural attractions. Unlike some more common recommendation domains (e.g., music and video), POI recommendation is inherently high-stakes: users invest significant time, money, and effort to search, choose, and consume these suggested POIs. Despite the numerous research works in the area, several fundamental issues remain unresolved, hindering the real-world applicability of the proposed approaches. In this paper, we discuss the current status of the POI recommendation problem and the main challenges we have identified. The first contribution of this paper is a critical assessment of the current state of POI recommendation research and the identification of key shortcomings across three main dimensions: datasets, algorithms, and evaluation methodologies. We highlight persistent issues such as the lack of standardized benchmark datasets, flawed assumptions in the problem definition and model design, and inadequate treatment of biases in the user behavior and system performance. The second contribution is a structured research agenda that, starting from the identified issues, introduces important directions for future work related to multistakeholder design, context awareness, data collection, trustworthiness, novel interactions, and real-world evaluation.
