Retrieving Regions of Interest for User Exploration
Summary: Introduces LCMSR, selecting a size-bounded spatial-network region within an ROI that maximizes keyword-relevant PoI weight for user exploration. Establishes NP-hardness and gives a (5+ε)-approximation via integer weight scaling, plus efficient heuristic and greedy methods. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
