Location recommendation is an important feature of social network applications and location-based services. Most existing studies focus on developing one single method or model for all users. By analyzing data from two real location-based social networks (Foursquare and Gowalla), in this paper we reveal that the decisions of users on place visits depend on multiple factors, and different users may be affected differently by these factors. We design a location recommendation framework that combines results from various recommenders that consider different factors. Our framework estimates, for each individual user, the underlying influence of each factor to her. Based on the estimation, we aggregate suggestions from different recommenders to derive personalized recommendations. Experiments on Foursquare and Gowalla show that our proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on location recommendation.
