Global and local hypergraph learning method with semantic enhancement for POI recommendation

Abstract

The deep semantic information mining extracts deep semantic features from textual data and effectively utilizes the world knowledge embedded in these features, so it is widely researched in recommendation tasks. In spite of the extensive utilization of contextual information in prior Point-of-Interest research, the insufficient and non-informative textual content has led to the neglect of deep semantic study. Besides, effectively integrating the deep semantic information into the trajectory modeling process is also an open question for further exploration. Therefore, this paper proposes HyperSE, to leverage prompt engineering and pre-trained language models for deep semantic enhancement. Besides, HyperSE effectively extracts higher-order collaborative signals from global and local hypergraphs, seamlessly integrating topological and semantic information to enhance trajectory modeling. Experimental results show that HyperSE outperforms the strong baseline, demonstrating the effectiveness of the deep semantic information and the model’s efficiency.
