Summary: | This research critically examines the Yelp dataset within the domain of recommender
systems, emphasizing the integration of geographical data to enhance recommendation
accuracy and relevance. Acknowledging the pivotal role of location in user preferences,
this study introduces a novel method for constructing user-specific bounding boxes that
encapsulate the geographical extent of user interactions within the Yelp environment.
Through the meticulous construction and adjustment of these bounding boxes based on
user review history and ground truth data, we aim to demonstrate the significance of spatial
information in refining recommendation systems. Our methodology extends beyond traditional
recommendation algorithms by incorporating spatial constraints, thereby offering a
more personalized and contextually relevant user experience. Experimental results underscore
the efficacy of our approach, revealing a marked improvement in recommendation
performance when geographical considerations are factored into the model. This investigation
not only sheds light on the untapped potential of geographical data in enhancing
recommender systems but also sets the stage for future research endeavors focused on the
confluence of spatial information and user preferences. Ultimately, this study contributes
to the evolving landscape of recommendation systems, advocating for a more nuanced and
comprehensive approach to user personalization. |
