New LLM framework optimizes urban travel itineraries

Researchers have developed a new framework called Embark Now for planning multi-day urban travel itineraries. This framework integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) to precisely capture user preferences and an enhanced Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) algorithm to generate feasible plans. Experiments conducted on datasets from Beijing and Tianjin demonstrated that Embark Now significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, improving itinerary scores by over 11% and enhancing computational efficiency. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve user satisfaction and efficiency in travel planning applications by leveraging LLMs for preference understanding.

    Embark Now: User Demand Oriented Framework for Multi-day Urban Travel Itinerary Planning

    arXiv:2607.10651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In large urban areas, planning multi-day travel itineraries is challenging due to the abundance of Points of Interest (POIs), diverse user preferences, and constraints such as opening hours. Effective solutions must dynamically acco…
