Prior studies focus on recommendation that considers user travel spatiotemporal and sequential patterns behaviours. These studies do not pay attention to user personal interests, which is a significant factor for POI recommendation. Besides user interests, queuing time also plays a significant role in affecting user mobility behaviour, e.g., having to queue a long time to enter a POI might reduce visitor\u2019s enjoyment. Recently, attention-based recurrent neural networks-based approaches show promising performance in the next POI recommendation task. However, they are limited to single head attention, which can have difficulty in finding the appropriate user mobility behaviours considering complex relationships among POI spatial distances, POI check-in time, user interests and POI queuing times. In this research work, we are the first to consider queuing time and user interest awareness factors for next POI recommendation. We demonstrate how it is non-trivial to recommend a next POI and simultaneously predict its queuing time. To solve this problem, we propose a multi-task, multi-head attention transformer model called TLR-M_UI. The model recommends the next POIs to the target users and predicts queuing time to access the POIs simultaneously by considering user mobility behaviours. The proposed model utilises POIs description-based user personal interest that can also solve the new categorical POI cold start problem. Extensive experiments on six real-world datasets show that the proposed models outperform the state-of-the-art baseline approaches in terms of precision, recall, and F1-score evaluation metrics. The model also predicts and minimizes the queuing time. For the reproducibility of the proposed model, we have publicly shared our implementation code at GitHub (<jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/sajalhalder\/TLR-M_UI\">https:\/\/github.com\/sajalhalder\/TLR-M_UI<\/jats:ext-link>).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10618-022-00865-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,3]],"date-time":"2022-10-03T21:03:13Z","timestamp":1664830993000},"page":"2379-2409","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["POI recommendation with queuing time and user interest awareness"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0965-6255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sajal","family":"Halder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kwan Hui","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Xiuzhen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"865_CR1","unstructured":"Alonso HM, Plank B (2017) When is multitask learning effective? semantic sequence prediction under varying data conditions.
