Recommender systems in e-commerce
Open accessAbstract
Recommender systems are changing from novelties used by a few E-commerce sites, to serious business tools that are re-shaping the world of E-commerce.Many of the largest commerce Web sites are already using recommender systems to help their customers find products to purchase.A recommender system learns from a customer and recommends products that she will find most valuable from among the available products.In this paper we present an explanation of how recommender systems help Ecommerce sites increase sales, and analyze six sites that use recommender systems including several sites that use more than one recommender system.Based on the examples, we create a taxonomy of recommender systems, including the interfaces they present to customers, the technologies used to create the recommendations, and the inputs they need from customers.We conclude with ideas for new applications of recommender systems to E-commerce.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
