What attracts vehicle consumers’ buying:A Saaty scale-based VIKOR (SSC-VIKOR) approach from after-sales textual perspective?
Purpose:
The increasingly booming e-commerce development has stimulated vehicle consumers to express individual reviews through online forum. The purpose of this paper is to probe into the vehicle consumer consumption behavior and make recommendations for potential consumers from textual comments viewpoint.
Design/methodology/approach:
A big data analytic-based approach is designed to discover vehicle consumer consumption behavior from online perspective. To reduce subjectivity of expert-based approaches, a parallel Naïve Bayes approach is designed to analyze the sentiment analysis, and the Saaty scale-based (SSC) scoring rule is employed to obtain specific sentimental value of attribute class, contributing to the multi-grade sentiment classification. To achieve the intelligent recommendation for potential vehicle customers, a novel SSC-VIKOR approach is developed to prioritize vehicle brand candidates from a big data analytical viewpoint.
Findings:
The big data analytics argue that “cost-effectiveness” characteristic is the most important factor that vehicle consumers care, and the data mining results enable automakers to better understand consumer consumption behavior.
Research limitations/implications:
The case study illustrates the effectiveness of the integrated method, contributing to much more precise operations management on marketing strategy, quality improvement and intelligent recommendation.
Originality/value:
Researches of consumer consumption behavior are usually based on survey-based methods, and mostly previous studies about comments analysis focus on binary analysis. The hybrid SSC-VIKOR approach is developed to fill the gap from the big data perspective
NAIS: Neural Attentive Item Similarity Model for Recommendation
Item-to-item collaborative filtering (aka. item-based CF) has been long used
for building recommender systems in industrial settings, owing to its
interpretability and efficiency in real-time personalization. It builds a
user's profile as her historically interacted items, recommending new items
that are similar to the user's profile. As such, the key to an item-based CF
method is in the estimation of item similarities. Early approaches use
statistical measures such as cosine similarity and Pearson coefficient to
estimate item similarities, which are less accurate since they lack tailored
optimization for the recommendation task. In recent years, several works
attempt to learn item similarities from data, by expressing the similarity as
an underlying model and estimating model parameters by optimizing a
recommendation-aware objective function. While extensive efforts have been made
to use shallow linear models for learning item similarities, there has been
relatively less work exploring nonlinear neural network models for item-based
CF.
In this work, we propose a neural network model named Neural Attentive Item
Similarity model (NAIS) for item-based CF. The key to our design of NAIS is an
attention network, which is capable of distinguishing which historical items in
a user profile are more important for a prediction. Compared to the
state-of-the-art item-based CF method Factored Item Similarity Model (FISM),
our NAIS has stronger representation power with only a few additional
parameters brought by the attention network. Extensive experiments on two
public benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of NAIS. This work is the first
attempt that designs neural network models for item-based CF, opening up new
research possibilities for future developments of neural recommender systems
Collaborative Summarization of Topic-Related Videos
Large collections of videos are grouped into clusters by a topic keyword,
such as Eiffel Tower or Surfing, with many important visual concepts repeating
across them. Such a topically close set of videos have mutual influence on each
other, which could be used to summarize one of them by exploiting information
from others in the set. We build on this intuition to develop a novel approach
to extract a summary that simultaneously captures both important
particularities arising in the given video, as well as, generalities identified
from the set of videos. The topic-related videos provide visual context to
identify the important parts of the video being summarized. We achieve this by
developing a collaborative sparse optimization method which can be efficiently
solved by a half-quadratic minimization algorithm. Our work builds upon the
idea of collaborative techniques from information retrieval and natural
language processing, which typically use the attributes of other similar
objects to predict the attribute of a given object. Experiments on two
challenging and diverse datasets well demonstrate the efficacy of our approach
over state-of-the-art methods.Comment: CVPR 201
