A Dynamic Pricing Method in E-Commerce Based on PSO-trained Neural Network

چکیده
Recently, dynamic pricing has been a common competitive maneuver in e-commerce. In many industries, firms adjust the product price dynamically by the current product inventory and the future demand distribution. In this paper, we used particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to train neural networks, then introduced the PSO-trained neural network into e-commerce and presented a new dynamic pricing method based on PSO-trained neural networks. In the method, from production function principles we obtained the least variable cost, and by making the error of mean square between the actual outputs and expectation outputs minimal we got the optimal dynamic price of products. The PSO-trained neural network can simplify the rapid change of prices and can successfully set the optimal dynamic prices in e-commerce.

A DSS-Based Dynamic Programming for Finding Optimal Markets Using Neural Networks and Pricing
One of the substantial challenges in marketing efforts is determining optimal markets, specifically in market segmentation. The problem is more controversial in electronic commerce and electronic marketing. Consumer behaviour is influenced by different factors and thus varies in different time periods. These dynamic impacts lead to the uncertain behaviour of consumers and therefore harden the t...

Convolutional neural network is one of the effective methods for classifying images that performs learning using convolutional, pooling and fully-connected layers. All kinds of noise disrupt the operation of this network. Noise images reduce classification accuracy and increase convolutional neural network training time. Noise is an unwanted signal that destroys the original signal. Noise chang...
