LLMs fine-tuned for tourist behavior prediction show strong generalization

Researchers have developed a method for fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) to predict tourist behavior, addressing the limitations of traditional models that struggle with context-dependent decisions. By leveraging the commonsense reasoning capabilities of LLMs and adapting them to specific locations, the approach can effectively model destination-specific patterns. Experiments using data from Wakayama Castle Park, Japan, demonstrated that a fine-tuned Llama-3.1-8B model achieved significant accuracy in predicting next points of interest and maintained performance even in undersampled scenarios like rainy days.
