Abstract:The development of the Internet has driven popularization of e-commerce and other applications. For these applications, the Internet needs various services such as temporary matching which matches various types of tasks with the servicer skills while minimizing the distance overhead between matching objects. This paper presents a spatial keywords task matching algorithm for these conditions. Given a task set and a servicer set with spatial locations and keywords, the sum of the distances between all the tasks and the matching servicers is minimized for the premise that all the tasks can be completed. The massive number of tasks and servicers and the wide range of keywords complicate efficient determinations of high quality matching results. This study uses a k-nearest neighbor incremental optimization strategy to improve the matching quality of the traditional matching algorithm. A grouping optimization strategy based on spatial partitioning is then used to improve the matching efficiencies for large datasets. These two strategies are then used to develop a keyword k-nearest neighbor incremental algorithm and a keyword-based grouping optimization algorithm. Tests on real datasets verify the effectiveness of these algorithms.
