Geographical proximity is a necessary, but not sufficient, qualifier for recommending other entities such that they are related in a useful manner (e.g., interest in a fish market does not imply interest in nearby bookshops, but interest in other produce stores is more likely). We describe and evaluate methods to identify such activity-related local entities.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/recommending-interesting-activity-related-local-entities/}, pages = {1161-1162}, edition = {34th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval (SIGIR 2011), Beijing, China}, }
