ChoseAmobile: A Web-based Recommendation System for Mobile Phone Products

Abstract

Information and communication technologies brought-in tools and technologies in the field of electronic commerce that introduced new modes of shopping. With the emergence of e-commerce platforms, the user base is shifting from the traditional mode of shopping towards online e-commerce sites. A large number of e-commerce sites share multiple brands and products that make it difficult for the user to decide which site is presenting genuine specifications as well as the best price offerings. In this work, we present a recommendation system choseAmobile that uses specific metrics and product reviews as side information and provides suitable recommendations to the user. The system continuously monitors and analyzes the data sources to see and incorporate the updates in order to present up to date and accurate results. The experimentation results show that the system is proved to be feasible and effective, thus resulting in better recommendations for mobile phone selection, especially for novice users.
