Based on its cutting-edge big data and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and years of experience in the e-commerce industry, Alibaba provides Artificial Intelligence Recommendation for developers. Artificial Intelligence Recommendation is a personalized recommendation service that can help increase the customer purchase rate and order conversion rate.
Overview
This topic describes how to use Artificial Intelligence Recommendation to build an intelligent system for recommending items on e-commerce websites. The system uses the following services of Alibaba Cloud: Log Service for collecting logs, ApsaraDB for RDS as the back-end data service, MaxCompute as a data warehouse, and DataWorks for synchronizing and processing data.
Recommendation information on e-commerce websites includes product properties such as logistics information and sales information. Such information appears on homepages or as news feeds and can promote transactions and increase the customer purchase rate and order conversion rate.
Scenarios
