When searching for entities with a strong local character (e.g., a museum), people may also be interested in discovering proximal activity-related entities (e.g., a café). Geographical proximity is a necessary, but not sufficient, qualifier for recommending other entities such that they are related in a useful manner (e.g., interest in a fish market does not imply interest in nearby bookshops, but interest in other produce stores is more likely). We describe and evaluate methods to identify such activity-related local entities.
FishStore is a new ingestion and storage layer for flexible- and fixed-schema datasets. It allows you to dynamically register complex predicates over the data, to define interesting subsets of the data. Such predicates are called PSFs (for predicated subset functions).
