1. the flow chart of recommending scenery spot method
First, reference picture 2 is described according to the recommending scenery spot method of one embodiment of the application Flow chart.In the method, it is following three using the user sight spot matrix decomposition as historical data Individual matrix:User characteristics matrix, weight matrix, and sight spot eigenmatrix.Then, it is based on These three matrixes calculate the recommender score at sight spot, that is, the unknown with user sight spot matrix Plain related fraction.
Step S101 is user characteristics vector extraction step, wherein according to user's and sight spot is more Individual historical data come extract at least one represent correspondence user characteristics user characteristics vector, going through History data update in the case of in the user characteristics vector each independently of one another more Newly.Step S101 is triggered by the user's recommendation request being described later on.
The exemplary forms of the historical data of user and the historical data at sight spot can be as shown in Figure 1 Such user sight spot matrix, wherein have recorded access situation of the user to sight spot, each row is visual To represent the historical data of user characteristics and respectively arranging to can be considered the history number for representing sight spot feature According to.Historical data is not limited to the exemplary forms, such as another form can be that different user is clapped The collection of photographs at the different sight spots taken the photograph, or be different user on the internet to different sight spots Evaluation score etc..
Therefore, the historical data of user can come from for example including at least one in following item:
A) sight spot that user accesses;
B) sight spot of user's scoring, and evaluation score;
C) the sight spot photo that user shoots;
D) the sight spot photo that user shoots, photo has photo tag;And
E) the sight spot photo of user's scoring, and evaluation score.
On the other hand, the historical data at sight spot can come from for example including at least one in following item It is individual:
A) user at sight spot is accessed;
B) user scored sight spot, and evaluation score;
The photo shot when c) shooting sight spot;And
The photo shot when d) shooting sight spot, photo has photo tag.
Photo tag is, for example, time, place and photographer's name of photograph taking etc..
In one example, the historical data for shooting sight spot can be by by using photo files Middle storage can be that the positional information of GPS information is clustered to obtain to the photo of collection.
Herein, user characteristics makes each user be distinguished from each other, and can use going through for correspondence user History data obtain representing the user characteristics vector of user characteristics based on various features extracting method. As previously described, in recommending scenery spot application, historical data such as user sight spot matrix is frequent more Newly.The application cause in the user characteristics vector extracted in the case each can Update independently of one another, this avoids the whole user's factor matrix of renewal and therefore will greatly improved The efficiency of recommending scenery spot.The process that characteristic vector is extracted will be described in detail later.
Step S102 is sight spot characteristic vector extraction step, wherein according to the multiple of user and sight spot Historical data come extract at least one represent correspondence sight spot feature sight spot characteristic vector, in history Each in the case that data update in the sight spot characteristic vector updates independently of one another.
The step is similar with step S101, it is, for example, possible to use the historical data base at correspondence sight spot Obtain representing the sight spot characteristic vector of sight spot feature in various features extracting method.Similarly, The application also cause in extracted sight spot characteristic vector each can independently of one another more Newly.This avoids the effect for updating whole sight spot factor matrix and therefore greatly improving recommending scenery spot Rate.
Step S103 is weight matrix generation step, wherein using user's history data and sight spot Historical data represents weight of the user characteristics vector relative to the mapping of sight spot characteristic vector to generate Matrix.
As it was previously stated, the user's history data or sight spot history number in any source can be based respectively on According to extracting user characteristics vector or sight spot characteristic vector using appropriate feature extracting method.For Make it possible to know the relation between the characteristic vector of user characteristics vector sight spot so as to more accurate Really determine recommender score of the sight spot for user, it would be desirable to which generation represents that user characteristics is relative In the weight matrix of the mapping of sight spot feature.For example, representing user characteristics and with row with list Show sight spot feature, then the element (weight) of the weight matrix can be regarded as with this feature User likes the degree of this feature in sight spot.Therefore the recommendation results of the method proposed are can To explain the reason for sight spot is recommended to user.The process for generating weight matrix will in detail below Description.
Step S104 is that recommender score determines step, wherein special based on user characteristics vector, sight spot Vector weight matrix is levied to determine the fraction of multiple candidate sights for selecting user.
After being extracted user characteristics vector sight spot characteristic vector and generating weight matrix, Recommender score of the sight spot to selected user can be just calculated, this essentially defines user sight spot The content of the unknown in matrix.Because the forward sight spot of arrangement generally more preferably matches user, institute Recommended with that should select to arrange forward sight spot.Recommend the quantity at sight spot can be according to multiple Factor determines, total threshold value of such as recommender score, personal recommender score or artificially defined Recommended amount.
Therefore, it can be avoided in historical data according to the recommending scenery spot method of embodiments herein The whole user's factor matrix of re -training or whole sight spot factor matrix during renewal, so as to improve The efficiency of recommending scenery spot.In addition, recommending scenery spot result is also to explain.By under reading These advantages may be better understood in the detailed description in face.
2. characteristic vector extraction process
Fig. 3 shows the flow chart of the characteristic vector extraction process according to embodiments herein. In Fig. 3, step S201 is information receiving step, wherein receive recommendation request from user and Specifying information.Step S202 is data acquisition step, wherein obtaining newest user and sight spot is gone through History data.Step S203 is feature definition step, wherein, pre-defining will be according to historical data The feature of extraction.Step S204 is that characteristic vector updates step, wherein being carried based on historical data Take and update user characteristics vector or sight spot characteristic vector.This will be further elaborated with later.
2-1 user characteristics vector extraction process
The process for extracting user characteristics vector is specifically described referring next to Fig. 3 flow chart.
First, the shooting recommending scenery spot request sent from user is received.
The request such as communication module from user equipment.The request preferably includes at least two Category information:ID, is general index in the database of storage user characteristics vector;With with The position that family is specified, user just seeks to shoot sight spot at the position.
The mode of specified location in user can be explicit or implicit.In explicit way, use Family can by, for example, input position title, manually interaction map on drawing area or to Its equipment sends voice command etc. and carrys out specified location.In implicit, position can be by user Equipment is automatically determined.For example, the current location of user can be by the GPS module in user equipment There is provided.In addition, position radius can expect the region for carrying out recommending sight spot wherein with instruction user. Position radius can be specified by user, or be automatically determined according to the contextual information of user.
Next, obtaining the latest history data at user and sight spot.These historical datas can be come The information of the record at sight spot, or the various letters that user provides are accessed on user from internet Breath source, such as one group photo.The various sources of historical data are as it was noted above, no longer weigh herein It is multiple.
Then, the user characteristics to be extracted according to historical data is pre-defined.For example in history number According to the record for being one group of sight spot photo sight spot that either user accessed or commenting undue sight spot In the case of, user characteristics can be the scene information in these photos, such as " street ", " dynamic Thing ", " plant ", " sea " etc..Thus user characteristics vector can include following item At least one of in:
A) quantity of the photo shot by relative users of predetermined scene is belonged to;
B) percentage of the photo shot by relative users of predetermined scene is belonged to;
C) quantity of the photo scored by relative users of predetermined scene is belonged to;
D) percentage of the photo scored by relative users of predetermined scene is belonged to;
E) quantity at the sight spot accessed by relative users of predetermined scene is belonged to;
F) percentage at the sight spot accessed by relative users of predetermined scene is belonged to;
G) quantity at the sight spot scored by relative users of predetermined scene is belonged to;And
H) percentage at the sight spot scored by relative users of predetermined scene is belonged to.
Or, user characteristics can be the statistical information that sight spot is accessed by relative users, the system Meter information can be type, access frequency and the duration and user characteristics arrow that user accesses sight spot Amount is made up of its corresponding statistical value.
Finally, extracted and more based on user profile, historical data and defined user characteristics New user characteristics vector.
In one example, user characteristics vector is scene tag histogram herein.Extracting method It is as follows:Using the N number of photo (N for the user's upload for proposing recommendation request>0);Shine N number of The photo of each in piece is iterated, so as to be known based on corresponding picture material using such as object Other method recognizes photo scene information, and the photo scene information recognized of each photo is pre- Define one or more of scene tag set (feature) scene tag;Whole N number of photos The summation of the scene tag information recognized be calculated to form calculating vector;Then with N pairs Calculate vector to be normalized as histogram, histogrammic each element is correspondence scene tag Percentage.Then scene tag histogram is stored as the user characteristics in customer data base Vector, as shown in Figure 4 A.When user uploads one group of new photo, although user's history number According to changing, but independently can only update the scene tag histogram of correspondence user without Influence the characteristic vector of other users.
In other examples, as the replacement of the one group of photo uploaded to user, historical data can Since the scoring of free relative users sight spot.Scene information is being defined as the situation of user characteristics Under, user characteristics vector can similarly be extracted with aforementioned exemplary.
In another example, each scape for showing that the user accesses can be counted based on historical data Type, access frequency and duration etc. of point as the user user characteristics vector.
2-2 sight spots characteristic vector extraction process
The process is similar with user characteristics vector extraction process.Difference is only described below.
First, if specifying position and radius in user profile, according to position and radius come Choose candidate sight.If herein without specified location and radius, step S201 can be ignored.
Therefore, the specified location in user with known latitude and longitude, specified location in user are given It can be computed with the distance between each sight spot.Calculating and comparing from user's specific bit After the distance for putting each sight spot, it is only located at the sight spot within radius and is considered candidate sight.
Then, it is the sight spot or comment that one group of sight spot photo or user accessed in historical data In the case of the record at undue sight spot, sight spot feature can also be the scene letter in these photos Breath, " street ", " animal ", " plant ", " sea " etc..But sight spot feature Vector and user characteristics vector are different and including at least one in following item:
A) quantity of the photo for belonging to predetermined scene shot to corresponding sight spot;
B) percentage of the photo for belonging to predetermined scene shot to corresponding sight spot;
C) quantity with the photo for specifying mean opinion score shot to corresponding sight spot;And
D) percentage with the photo for specifying mean opinion score shot to corresponding sight spot.
Or, sight spot feature can be the statistical information for each user for accessing corresponding sight spot, described Statistical information can be age, sex and education degree and the sight spot characteristic vector for accessing user It is made up of its corresponding statistical value.
Finally, extracted and more based on user profile, historical data and defined sight spot feature New sight spot characteristic vector.
In one example, sight spot characteristic vector is scene tag histogram.Extracting method is as follows: Using M photo (M in the range of targeted candidate sight>0);To M photo In each photo be iterated so that recognized based on corresponding picture material photo scene believe Breath.The photo scene information recognized of each photo is predefined scene tag set (feature) One or more of scene tag;Calculate the scene tag information recognized of M photo Summation is to form calculating vector;Then it is normalized with M to calculating vector as histogram, Histogrammic each element is the percentage of correspondence scene tag.Then scene tag histogram quilt Storage is as the sight spot characteristic vector in scene data storehouse, as shown in Figure 4 B.When the sight spot In the range of when uploading one group of new photo, can be independent although sight spot historical data changes Ground updates the scene tag histogram at correspondence sight spot without influenceing the characteristic vector at other sight spots.
In other examples, as the replacement to one group of photo in the range of candidate sight, go through History data can be the user and evaluation score scored sight spot.It is defined as evaluation score In the case of the feature of sight spot, sight spot characteristic vector can similarly be extracted with aforementioned exemplary.
In another example, it can be counted based on historical data and draw each use for accessing the sight spot Age, sex and the education degree at family etc. as the candidate sight sight spot characteristic vector.
3. weight matrix generating process
Weight matrix is, for example, square formation, wherein each element is real number.The element of weight matrix is User characteristics is transferred to the weight of sight spot feature.Approximately, weight is bigger, special with certain class The user levied and the matching degree at the sight spot with certain category feature are bigger.
In one example, weight matrix is trained and generated by usage history off-line data. If stem algorithm can apply in training process, such as stochastic gradient descent SGD algorithms, at this In algorithm:
1) input learning rate factor gamma and normalization factor λ;
2) random initializtion weight matrix S;
3) loss function is defined:
Wherein,
ru,iIt is true value of the user u for sight spot i;
It is recommender scores of the user u for sight spot i
puIt is user u characteristic vector;
qiIt is sight spot i characteristic vector;
4) for user u and sight spot i, gradient is calculated:
5) corresponding S is updated:
6) for each user u in training data and each sight spot i repeat steps 4) and 5), Until convergence;
7) training completes and exports the weight matrix S of study.
The weight matrix S now obtained can be together with the characteristic vector of user characteristics vector sight spot The data of the unknown at least corresponded in the matrix of user sight spot are calculated by multiplying. Fig. 5 A show the weight matrix generated according to the example.Each element representation tool in the matrix The user for having certain category feature likes the degree at the sight spot with certain category feature.It is used as historical data Training data is more sufficient, then the weight matrix generated will update user's with subjects history data When keep more stablize.Therefore this is by as the key factor for adapting to dynamic data source.
In another example, as the replacement of off-line training method, history number is also based on Weight matrix is generated according to using statistical method.Certain of each element representation user in the matrix Each joint probability sum in the joint probability of certain category feature at category feature and sight spot, matrix should be waited In 1.Fig. 5 B show the weight matrix generated according to the example, wherein such as 0.11 represents User with " (liking shooting) plant " feature shot the scape containing " street " feature The probability of point.In statistics, in the case of the collection of photographs that given each user shoots, calculate Go out the joint probability distribution of each user characteristics and each sight spot feature.Statistical method is not limited to herein The joint probability enumerated, other manner, such as conditional probability can also be used as needed.
4. recommender score determination process
User characteristics vector, sight spot characteristic vector and after generating weight matrix are being extracted, The recommender score of the candidate sight for the user is assured that, and is then recommended as needed One or more sight spots.
In one example, for extracting the history number of user characteristics vector sight spot characteristic vector According to source be used for generate historical data used in weight matrix source it is identical.It is specific and Speech, the photograph collection that user provides is used as the user's scape that can therefrom obtain as shown in Figure 1 The historical data of dot matrix.User characteristics vector sight spot characteristic vector be based on scene information from What photograph collection was extracted, as previously described.In addition, weight matrix be based on the user sight spot matrix, User characteristics vector and sight spot characteristic vector come what off-line training was obtained, as previously described.
Therefore, the recommendation of each candidate sight is calculated respectively for same user u with equation below Fraction:
That is the characteristic vector p based on user uu, weight matrix S and sight spot i characteristic vector qiTo calculate recommender scores of the sight spot i to user uAs shown in Figure 6A.
Recommender score indicates the matching journey of the characteristic vector of correspondence user and the characteristic vector at sight spot Degree.For specific user, if sight spot has the recommender score bigger than another sight spot, the scape Point has the bigger possibility being easily accepted by a user and is consequently adapted to be recommended.In this example, Because the source of historical data is identical, the correlation of data and the stability of recommendation results are more It is good.
In a modification, above-mentioned weight matrix can not be off-line training generation.As Substitute, it can use statistical method to generate based on the collection of photographs as historical data, As previously described.Using such statistics generation weight matrix as shown in Figure 6B that Recommender score is similarly determined in sample
In another example, and unlike preceding example, for extracting user characteristics vector With the source of the historical data of sight spot characteristic vector and for generating history used in weight matrix The source of data is different.Specifically, this kind of data in sight spot that user accesses are used as history number According to user sight spot matrix as shown in Figure 1 can be directly obtained from such historical data. On the other hand, user characteristics vector sight spot characteristic vector is that the photograph collection provided from user is based on What scene information was extracted, as previously described.In addition, weight matrix is to be based on the user sight spot square Battle array, user characteristics vector and sight spot characteristic vector come what off-line training was obtained, as previously described. Analogously it is possible to determine recommender score as shown in figure 6 a
In the modification similar with aforementioned variant of the example, weight matrix can not be by offline Training generation.Alternatively, the weight matrix can be based on the photograph as historical data What piece set was generated using statistical method, wherein certain category feature of each element representation user with The joint probability of certain category feature at sight spot.Analogously it is possible to determine to push away as shown in fig. 6b Recommend fraction
Therefore, need not be in historical data more according to the recommending scenery spot method of embodiments herein The whole user's factor matrix of re -training or whole sight spot factor matrix when new.It is additionally, since power Element in weight matrix has specific implication, therefore is easy to explain recommendation results.
