Abstract

In this paper, we propose a system called TravelScope that helps users experience virtual tours by presenting information mined from user-generated travelogues and photos. The system can (1) recommend popular places for a given region; (2) characterize comprehensive aspects (e.g., landmarks, styles, activities) for a location; and (3) show representative images for a landmark. A novel user interface is designed to provide a better user experience, by organizing both the textual and visual information generated by dedicated travelers in an attractive way.
