I-AIR: intention-aware travel itinerary recommendation via multi-signal fusion and spatiotemporal constraints by Xiao Cui, Zhihua Wang, Ping Li, Qiang Xu

“…Additionally, many approaches decouple POI selection from itinerary construction and depend heavily on limited behavioral signals, failing to capture richer feedback such as ratings, dwell times, or click histories. To address these limitations, we propose an intention-aware deep learning framework that integrates diverse user signals into a unified itinerary planning model. …”
