Abstract
ABSTRACT Nowadays, gathering information about commercial products can be performed either online or offline. While online searches can be virtually undertaken through online shopping websites, offline searches should be done physically at stores. However, there is a specific emerging trend where users can check some product opportunities online before getting to the stores and then possibly buying some items whose properties have already been evaluated over the Web. Product properties can be studied online while on site evaluation provides a direct contact with these goods at the stores. The objective of the approach developed in this paper is to discover user preferences when searching and exploring online shopping websites and then recommend the stores that better match their interests. First, users’ internet behaviours are extracted from an online shopping website. Secondly, a Voronoi high-dimensional structure supports the derivation of similarities between the users and stores. Third, a distance matrix between the user and the selected stores is generated. Finally, a ranked list of the most appropriate stores is provided to the users based on their product interest and their locations. The whole approach has been successfully tested by a panel of 30 volunteers in the 6th District of the city of Tehran.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
