Workshop on Location-Aware Recommendations
The amount of available geo-referenced data has seen a dramatic explosion over the past few years. Human activities generate data and traces that are now often transparently annotated with location and contextual information. At the same time, it has become easier than ever to collect and combine rich and diverse information about locations. Exploiting this torrent of geo-referenced data requires bringing together scholars and practitioners from various research communities, and provides a tremendous potential to materially improve existing and offer novel types of recommendation services.
