Abstract

Digital map services and search services for geographical information are widely available on the Internet. Users can retrieve suitable geographical information using these digital maps through certain map operations and category selections. However, when a map region includes a large amount of information, it can be difficult for users to find specific geographical information. In addition, a user's interest in a region or a category may change. Therefore, we propose a method for recommending geographical information to users on the basis of their map operation or category selection history. We develop a model for determining a user's interest and use it to recommend suitable regions and categories.
