Abstract
In this paper, we propose a user interface for online shopping that uses a two dimensional product map to present products. This map is created using multidimensional scaling (MDS). Dissimilarities between products are computed using an adapted version of Gower's coefficient of similarity based on the attributes of the product. The user can zoom in and out by drawing rectangles. We show an application of this user interface to MP3 players and give an interpretation of the product map.

TL;DR: The Paradox of Choice as mentioned in this paper argues that too much choice can lead to clinical depression, and suggests that eliminating choices can greatly reduce stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives.

Advances in Online Shopping Interfaces: Product Catalog Maps and Recommender Systems

A graphical shopping interface based on product attributes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to represent the mutual similarities of the recommended products in a two dimensional map, where similar products are located close to each other and dissimilar products far apart.

A graphical shopping interface bases on product attributes

TL;DR: This work proposes to represent the mutual similarities of the recommended products in a two dimensional map, where similar products are located close to each other and dissimilar products far apart, and uses an adaptation of Gower's similarity coefficient based on the attributes of a product as a dissimilarity measure.

Map Based Visualization of Product Catalogs

TL;DR: In this article, a two dimensional map-based visualization of the recommendations is proposed to retain part of the information lost in content-and knowledge-based recommender systems, where two products with the same similarity to a query can differ from this query on a completely different set of product characteristics.

Multidimensional scaling by optimizing goodness of fit to a nonmetric hypothesis

TL;DR: The fundamental hypothesis is that dissimilarities and distances are monotonically related, and a quantitative, intuitively satisfying measure of goodness of fit is defined to this hypothesis.
