A Statistical Real-Time Prediction Model for Recommender System
This work addresses the problem of real-time prediction of user buying behavior for e-commerce platforms, offering an incremental improvement to existing recommender systems.
This paper developed a statistical model to predict user buying behavior in real-time within a session for recommender systems. The model achieved approximately 58% true-positive and 13% false-positive rates on the RecSys Challenge 2015 dataset.
Recommender system has become an inseparable part of online shopping and its usability is increasing with the advancement of these e-commerce sites. An effective and efficient recommender system benefits both the seller and the buyer significantly. We considered user activities and product information for the filtering process in our proposed recommender system. Our model has achieved inspiring result (approximately 58% true-positive and 13% false-positive) for the data set provided by RecSys Challenge 2015. This paper aims to describe a statistical model that will help to predict the buying behavior of a user in real-time during a session.
