A Product Search Engine Supporting “Best Product” Queries
Öz
In this study, a novel product search engine system which supports “find the best products for a given category” type queries is proposed. The product search engine system consists of a focused crawler, a record linkage system, a sentiment analyzer, and a query engine system. The focused crawler is used to crawl product information from various e-commerce sites; the record linkage system determines the identical products that are crawled from different e-commerce sites; the sentiment analyzer classifies users’ reviews about the products as positive or negative so that our product search engine can decide which product is the best for a given category; and the query engine takes the user queries and displays the result. All implementations are done by using C# programming language in .NET 4.5 framework, and MS-SQL Server 2014 database management system is employed for data storage. The core of our system is the record linkage part which is based on a modified incremental Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering algorithm. To improve the success of record linkage process we also develop a product code matching system such that if the two products from different e-commerce sites have the same product code they are considered as the same. In our experimental analysis we observe 96.25% F-measure in record linkage of E-commerce products and 100% precision in most related products search. Our system can successfully offer best products for a given category. The proposed system achieves to provide better user experience than the existing systems.
