The wide spread use of location based social networks (LBSNs) has enabled the opportunities for better location based services through Point-of-Interest (POI) recommendation. Indeed, the problem of POI recommendation is to provide personalized recommendations of places of interest. Unlike traditional recommendation tasks, POI recommendation is personalized, locationaware, and context depended. In light of this difference, this paper proposes a topic and location aware POI recommender system by exploiting associated textual and context information. Specifically, we first exploit an aggregated latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model to learn the interest topics of users and to infer the interest POIs by mining textual information associated with POIs. Then, a Topic and Location-aware probabilistic matrix factorization (TL-PMF) method is proposed for POI recommendation. A unique perspective of TL-PMF is to consider both the extent to which a user interest matches the POI in terms of topic distribution and the word-of-mouth opinions of the POIs. Finally, experiments on real-world LBSNs data show that the proposed recommendation method outperforms state-of-the-art probabilistic latent factor models with a significant margin. Also, we have studied the impact of personalized interest topics and word-of-mouth opinions on POI recommendations.
