            Abstract : 
Given its importance, the problem of selecting the appropriate site for a service business has attracted great attentions in the literature. However, to quantify the relationships between the target site and its nearby businesses is still a challenging task. To this end, in this paper, we propose a novel joint learning scheme for service site selections. A case study for bank branch selections is also provided to demonstrate the usefulness of our scheme.
