The amount of available geo-referenced data has seen a dramatic explosion over the past few years. Human activities now generate digital traces that are annotated with location da...
Context-Aware Recommender System (CARS) models are trained on datasets of context-dependent user preferences (ratings and context information). Since the number of context-depende...
