Interest-aware and context-adaptive model for personalised travel route recommendation

With the growing demand for personalised tourism, route recommendation has become a key issue in intelligent travel.Existing methods face limitations in personalisation, temporal rhythm, and adaptability to dynamic environments.We propose an interest-aware and context-adaptive route recommendation model (ICRR).First, an interest-aware adaptive attention mechanism integrates user interest vectors into graph attention networks to enable personalised representations.Second, a temporal segmentation optimiser leverages LSTM and attention to capture temporal dependencies and solve the orienteering problem with time constraints, using adaptive perturbation search to avoid local optima.Finally, a dynamic route refinement mechanism models environmental factors through reinforcement learning for real-time route adjustment.Experiments show that ICRR outperforms baselines in user satisfaction, recommendation accuracy, and robustness, offering an efficient solution for smart tourism and intelligent transportation.

Abstract

With the growing demand for personalised tourism, route recommendation has become a key issue in intelligent travel.Existing methods face limitations in personalisation, temporal rhythm, and adaptability to dynamic environments.We propose an interest-aware and context-adaptive route recommendation model (ICRR).First, an interest-aware adaptive attention mechanism integrates user interest vectors into graph attention networks to enable personalised representations.Second, a temporal segmentation optimiser leverages LSTM and attention to capture temporal dependencies and solve the orienteering problem with time constraints, using adaptive perturbation search to avoid local optima.Finally, a dynamic route refinement mechanism models environmental factors through reinforcement learning for real-time route adjustment.Experiments show that ICRR outperforms baselines in user satisfaction, recommendation accuracy, and robustness, offering an efficient solution for smart tourism and intelligent transportation.
