Abstract

Place recommender systems are increasingly being used to find places of a given type that are close to a user-specified location. As it is important for these systems to use an up-to-date database with a wide coverage, there is a need for techniques that are capable of expanding place databases in an automated way. On the other hand, social media are a rich source of geographically distributed information. In this paper, we therefore propose an approach to discover new instances of a given place type by exploiting correlations between terms and locations in geotagged social media. For a variety of place types, our approach is able to find places which are not yet included in popular place databases such as Foursquare or Google Places.
