Data-driven personalized marketing strategy optimization based on user behavior modeling and predictive analytics: Sustainable market segmentation and targeting
Open accessAbstract
Personalized recommendation remains a central challenge in modern marketing systems due to the complexity of user-product-query interactions. In this study, we propose a novel framework called DP-GCN (Deterministic Policy Graph Convolutional Network), which integrates multi-level Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) with Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) reinforcement learning to model heterogeneous information networks composed of users, products, and search queries. The proposed framework consists of three key components: (1) a graph-based embedding module to capture multi-relational structures; (2) a fusion layer that integrates dynamic and static features from users and items; and (3) a reinforcement learning layer that adaptively updates recommendation policies based on user feedback. We evaluate our model on several public benchmark datasets and a real-world dataset collected from a local e-commerce platform. Results demonstrate that DP-GCN consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in AUC, Precision@K, and NDCG@K. The findings highlight the effectiveness of combining graph-based relational modeling with reinforcement learning for improving both the accuracy and adaptability of personalized recommendation systems.

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.
