Geographical Feature Extraction for Entities in Location-based Social Networks

Pearl Pu Faltings

Location-based embedding is a fundamental problem to solve in location-based social network (LBSN). In this paper, we propose a geographical convolutional neural tensor network (GeoCNTN) as a generic embedding model. GeoCNTN first takes the raw location da ...
