Preference-based earch for Configurable Catalogs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of preference-based search for configurable products. We focus on example-based tools that interactively show both candidates (best options given current preferences) and suggestions to stimulate preference expression. Suggestions are generated to maximize the chance of eliciting further preferences using our lookahead principle. We present Probabilistic Constraint Optimization problems (ProbCOPs) that allow to reason about the uncertainty of the preference models and show how the generation of suggestions can be formulated as a single optimization problem.

E-procurement is one of the fastest growing application areas for e-commerce. Though B2B transaction costs could be reduced recently by establishing XML based standards for electronic product catalogs and data interchange, B2B sales costs are still high due to the amount of human interaction. For the first time we present a fully automated electronic sales agent for e-procurement portals. The k...
متن کاملTowards Scalable Scoring for Preference-based Item Recommendation
Preference-based item recommendation is an important technique employed by online product catalogs for recommending items to buyers. Whereas the basic mathematical mechanisms used for computing value functions from stated preferences are relatively simple, developers of online catalogs need flexible formalisms that support the description of a wide range of value functions and map to scalable i...
متن کاملGuiding Concept Generation Based on Ontology for Customer Preference Modeling
Customers often show different preferences relative to the same products, such as function, shape, color, costs, etc. They will surely affect product market activities further. In this paper, a model of preference elicitation from customers is proposed to reduce the gap between the systematic representation of preferences and customers’ actual preferences. Firstly, the attribute of customer pre...

The Wasabi Personal Shopper (WPS) is a domainindependent database browsing tool designed for on-line information access, particularly for electronic product catalogs. Typically, web-based catalogs rely either on text search or query formulation. WPS introduces an alternative form of access via preference-based navigation. WPS is based on a line of academic research called FindMe systems. These ...
