Abstract

One of the widely used methods for product recommendation in Internet storefronts is matching product features against target customer profiles. When using this method, it’s very important to choose a suitable subset of features for recommendation efficiency and performance, which, however, has not been rigorously researched so far. In this paper, we utilize a dataset collected from a virtual shopping experiment in a Korean Internet book shopping mall to compare several popular methods from other disciplines for selecting features for product recommendation: the vector-space model, TFIDF(Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency), the mutual information method, and the singular value decomposition(SVD). The application of SVD showed the best performance in the analysis results.
