Abstract
With limited resources, it is critical for companies to understand and address user needs to gain a competitive edge.The methods that utilize large-scale user-generated content (UGC) produced by the internet can analyze user needs efficiently and accurately. However, these methods have not been extensively studied.This paper proposes a framework based on large language model (LLM) to extract user’s insights into the priority of product attributes. First, product attributes are extracted from user reviews using LLM. Then, the mapping network between user reviews and satisfaction is established through sentiment analysis based on the LLM and Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) classification. Finally, a comprehensive analysis of product importance is conducted using a proposed quantified IPA-Kano model. An empirical study on smart wearable bands is conducted to offer an intuitive and quantifiable analysis of user attention and satisfaction for each product attribute. The strengths and weaknesses of the products are highlighted, providing valuable insights that can inspire companies to adopt user-centric optimization strategies.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Engineering Informatics is an international Journal that solicits research papers with an emphasis on 'knowledge' and 'engineering applications'. The Journal seeks original papers that report progress in applying methods of engineering informatics. These papers should have engineering relevance and help provide a scientific base for more reliable, spontaneous, and creative engineering decision-making. Additionally, papers should demonstrate the science of supporting knowledge-intensive engineering tasks and validate the generality, power, and scalability of new methods through rigorous evaluation, preferably both qualitatively and quantitatively. Abstracting and indexing for Advanced Engineering Informatics include Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus and INSPEC.
