We propose a novel latent factor model for recommending product size ts {Small, Fit, Large} to customers. Latent factors for customers and products in our model correspond to their physical true size, and are learnt from past product purchase and returns data. e outcome for a customer, product pair is predicted based on the di erence between customer and product true sizes, and e cient algorithms are proposed for computing customer and product true size values that minimize two loss function variants. In experiments with Amazon shoe datasets, we show that our latent factor models incorporating personas, and leveraging return codes show a 17-21% AUC improvement compared to baselines. In an online A/B test, our algorithms show an improvement of 0.49% in percentage of Fit transactions over control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
