Techniques describe constructing a location and activity recommendation model to identify relationships between locations and activities. To construct the model, the process obtains global positioning system (GPS) logs of geographical locations collected over time and identifies stay points representing locations visited by an individual user. The process also identifies points of interest in a region using a database and correlates a relationship between activity to activity by submitting queries to a search engine. The information gathered is used to fill locations and activities in a location-activity matrix. Recommendations may be made for a location and/or activity when given a user query, based on a user's present geographical location, or a prediction of a user's interest.

A method implemented at least partially by a processor, the method comprising: creating a location-activity matrix by detecting stay points to represent a set of stay regions representing stay points where a device associated with an individual has stayed over a time threshold within a distance threshold, and by extracting user comments from global positioning system (GPS) logs of the device corresponding to the set of stay regions;creating a location-feature matrix by identifying points of interest (POI) in a region and determining a number of different POI in an enclosing polygon of stay points;creating an activity-activity matrix by identifying a correlation between a pair of activities; andassociating information from the location-feature matrix and the activity-activity matrix with the location-activity matrix. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the creating the location-activity matrix further comprises: parsing the user comments from the GPS logs to identify activities for each stay region; anddetermining a frequency for the activities at each stay region. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the creating the location-feature matrix further comprises: normalizing the number of the different POI by a term frequency-inverse document frequency; andassigning less weight for the POI that occur more frequently in the enclosing polygon of stay points. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the activity-activity matrix further comprises: sending a query for the pair of activities to a search engine;retrieving a number of search results for the pair of activities queried on the search engine; anddetermining the number of search results returned and comparing this number to a threshold number to determine whether the correlation exists between the pair of activities. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: parsing trajectories from the GPS logs, the trajectories based at least in part on a sequence of stay points;dividing a map of the stay points into a set of grids based on at least a parameter;identifying a grid that has not been assigned to a stay region, the grid having a predetermined number of stay points;extracting neighboring grids that surround the grid, the neighboring grids including grids that have been assigned to stay regions and grids that have not been assigned to the stay regions; andclustering the grid and the neighboring grids that have not been assigned to the stay regions to form a new stay region. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising applying a gradient descent to iteratively minimize associating the information to the location-activity matrix. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving a query for a location;identifying and ranking activities that correspond to the location queried; andproviding a recommendation of a list of candidate activities based at least in part on the ranking. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving a query for an activity;identifying and ranking locations of interest in the location-activity matrix that correspond to the activity queried; andpresenting a list of candidate locations of interest in the location-activity matrix based at least in part on the ranking. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising presenting a user with a recommendation for an activity of interest, the recommendation being based at least in part on a present geographical location of the user, a geographical location accessed on a map, and/or a prediction of the user's interest in the activity of interest based on a query history of the location. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising presenting a user with a recommendation for a location of interest, the recommendation being based at least in part on a prediction of the user's interest in the location based on a query history for activities that occur in the location of interest. 11. One or more computer-readable storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform acts comprising: creating a location and activity recommendation model that models a relationship between locations and activities; applying a collective matrix factorization to identify locations of interest and corresponding activities of interest from the location and activity recommendation model by: decomposing a location-activity matrix by a low rank approximation as a product of sharing matrices;sharing location information through a first sharing matrix from a location-feature matrix;sharing activity information through a second sharing matrix from an activity-activity matrix;propagating location and activity information among the location-activity matrix, the location-feature matrix, and the activity-activity matrix; andfilling locations of interest information and activities of interest information in the location-activity matrix by applying a gradient descent to achieve a filled location-activity matrix; andproviding to a user a recommendation for a location of interest and/or a recommendation for an activity of interest with reference to the filled location-activity matrix. 12.
