LBSN2Vec++: Global-scale Check-in Dataset with User Social Networks

This dataset includes long-term (about 22 months from Apr. 2012 to Jan. 2014) global-scale check-in data collected from Foursquare, and also two snapshots of user social networks before and after the check-in data collection period (see more details in our paper). The check-in dataset contains 22,809,624 checkins by 114,324 users on 3,820,891 venues. The social network data contains 363,704 (old) and 607,333 (new) friendships. Due to frequent requests, we also include the raw check-in dataset containing 90,048,627 checkins by 2,733,324 users on 11,180,160 venues.
