• Title: Face to Purchase: Predicting Consumer Choices with Structured Facial and Behavioral Traits Embedding
• Authors: Zhe Liu, Xianzhi Wang, Lina Yao, Jake An, Lei Bai, Ee-Peng Lim
• Abstract summary: We propose to predict consumers' purchases based on their facial features and purchasing histories. We design a semi-supervised model based on a hierarchical embedding network to extract high-level features of consumers. Our experimental results on a real-world dataset demonstrate the positive effect of incorporating facial information in predicting consumers' purchasing behaviors.

• Abstract: Predicting consumers' purchasing behaviors is critical for targeted advertisement and sales promotion in e-commerce. Human faces are an invaluable source of information for gaining insights into consumer personality and behavioral traits. However, consumer's faces are largely unexplored in previous research, and the existing face-related studies focus on high-level features such as personality traits while neglecting the business significance of learning from facial data. We propose to predict consumers' purchases based on their facial features and purchasing histories. We design a semi-supervised model based on a hierarchical embedding network to extract high-level features of consumers and to predict the top-$N$ purchase destinations of a consumer. Our experimental results on a real-world dataset demonstrate the positive effect of incorporating facial information in predicting consumers' purchasing behaviors.

  We use Brain-Computer Interfacing technology to infer users' preferences, their attentional correlates towards visual content, and their associations with affective experience. We link these to relevant applications, such as information retrieval, personalized steering of generative models, and crowdsourcing population estimates of affective experiences.

  Product Question Answering (PQA) on E-Commerce platforms has attracted increasing attention as it can act as an intelligent online shopping assistant. It is insufficient to provide the same "completely summarized" answer to all customers, since many customers are more willing to see personalized answers with customized information only for themselves. We propose a novel multi-perspective user preference model for generating personalized answers in PQA.

  PreSizE is a novel deep learning framework which utilizes Transformers for accurate size prediction. We demonstrate that PreSizE is capable of achieving superior prediction performance compared to previous state-of-the-art baselines. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate that size predictions made by PreSizE can be effectively integrated into an existing production recommender system.
