Abstract

Most new products not only suddenly disappear in the market but also quickly cannibalize older products. Under such a circumstance, retailers may have too much stock, and customers may be faced with difficulties discovering products suitable to their preferences among short life cycle products. To address these problems, recommender systems are good solutions. However, most previous recommender systems had difficulty in reflecting changes in customer preferences because the systems employ static customer preferences. In this paper, we propose a recommendation methodology that considers dynamic customer preferences. The proposed methodology consists of dynamic customer profile creation, neighborhood formation, and recommendation list generation. For the experiments, we employ a mobile image transaction dataset that has a short product life cycle. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methodology has a higher quality of recommendation than a typical collaborative filtering-based system. From these results, we conclude that the proposed methodology is effective under conditions where most new products have short life cycles. The proposed methodology need to be verified in the physical environment at a future time.

대부분의 신상품들은 시장에서 급격히 사라질 뿐만 아니라 기존 상품들의 매출감소를 불러온다. 이처럼 수명주기가 짧은 상품으로 인해 소매상들은 과다한 재고를 보유하게 될 뿐만 아니라 소비자들은 자신들의 선호를 맞는 제품들을 발견하는데 어려움을 겪는다. 이런 문제를 해결에 하는데 있어서 추천 시스템은 좋은 해결방법이 될 수 있다. 그러나 대부분의 추천 시스템들은 소비자의 고정된 선호를 이용하기 때문에 변화하는 소비자의 선호를 반영하지 못하는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 시간에 따라 변화하는 소비자의 선호를 반영한 추천 방법론을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법론은 소비자의 동적 선호 프로파일 작성, 네이버 형성, 추천 리스트 작성의 3 단계로 구성되어 있으며, 모바일 이미지 거래 데이터를 이용하여 제안된 방법론의 유용성을 검증하였다. 시험결과 제시된 방법론의 추천 정확도가 전통적인 협업필터링의 정확도 보다 높았다. 이러한 결과를 통해, 본 연구에서 제한한 방법론이 짧은 수명주기를 가진 제품을 추천하는데 효과적이라는 결론을 내릴 수 있다. 따라서 향후 제안된 방법론을 현업에 적용하여 실제적 유용성을 검증할 필요가 있다.
