Abstract

This chapter compares and categorizes the algorithms that are described in Chap. 6 based on their basic characteristics. We categorized them based on (1) the kind of recommendation they provide (i.e., generic or personalized), (2) the type of recommendation they provide (i.e. Friend, Location, Activity, and Event), (3) the data representation they use for their model (i.e. matrix, tensor, graph), (4) the technique they are based on (i.e. probabilistic, semantic, collaborative filtering, etc.), (5) the data sets and the metrics they use in their experiments. The aforementioned categorizations help the reader to understand the main research choices that have been proposed in the research field of LBSNs and provides insight for further directions in the future.
