ABSTRACT -
Traveling as a very popular leisure activity enjoyed by many people all over the world.
Typically, tourists have different kinds of preferences about their itineraries, limited
time budgets, unfamiliar with the wide range of Points-of-Interest (POIs) in a city, so
that planning an itinerary is quite tedious, time-consuming, and challenging for them.
In this project, we propose an adaptive genetic algorithm for personalized itinerary
planning for travelers to plan their itineraries better. Firstly, desired starting POIs (e.g.,
POIs that are close to their hotels and destination POIs (e.g., POIs that are near train
stations or airports) are considered in our approach. Secondly, we also take some
general factors into account that travelers would consider in their preferences of an
itinerary, which are mandatory POls, the total number of POls, the overall POI
popularity, the overall cost, and the overall rating. Thirdly, we view this kind of
recommendation task as a Multi-Objective Optimization problem, and we propose an
adaptive genetic algorithm with the crossover and mutation probabilities (AGAM) for
solving this problem to better find the best global solution.
Fourthly, we allocate different weights to every factor which considered in our project
to generate a personalized itinerary recommendation for better meet many kinds of
preferences of tourists. Finally, we compare our approach against baselines on real-
world datasets which include six touristic cities, and the experimental results show that
the AGAM achieves better recommendation performance in terms of the mandatory
POIs, total POI visits, overall POI popularity, total travel time (including travel time
and visit duration), overall cost, and overall rating.
