Automatic personalization based on Web usage mining

TLDR
The ability to track users’ browsing behavior down to individual mouse clicks has brought the vendor and end customer closer than ever before, and it is now possible for a vendor to personalize his product message for individual customers at a massive scale, a phenomenon that is being referred to as mass customization.
Abstract
The ease and speed with which business transactions can be carried out over the Web have been a key driving force in the rapid growth of electronic commerce. Business-to-business e-commerce is the focus of much attention today, mainly due to its huge volume. While there are certainly gains to be made in this arena, most of it is the implementation of much more efficient supply management, payments, etc. On the other hand, e-commerce activity that involves the end user is undergoing a significant revolution. The ability to track users’ browsing behavior down to individual mouse clicks has brought the vendor and end customer closer than ever before. It is now possible for a vendor to personalize his product message for individual customers at a massive scale, a phenomenon that is being referred to as mass customization.

Item-based top-N recommendation algorithms

TL;DR: This article presents one class of model-based recommendation algorithms that first determines the similarities between the various items and then uses them to identify the set of items to be recommended, and shows that these item-based algorithms are up to two orders of magnitude faster than the traditional user-neighborhood based recommender systems and provide recommendations with comparable or better quality.
