Abstract

Recommendation systems are quite famous and are increasingly being used on e-commerce platforms for a variety of purposes. The recommendation system technique used also varies greatly depending on the scope and Item of recommendation. Content-based filtering, for example, is used to recommend related product items based on user preferences. However, how the recommendation system architecture should be built starts by creating a data model for bringing up related product items. This paper offers a system architecture by considering the initial problem usually faced by recommendation systems, namely the cold start problem. The problem of lack of user preferences data is trying to be overcome by utilizing product item documents. Product item documents are processed using the TF-IDF algorithm and Vector Space Model to generate a data model. Then a query can be applied to find similarities to items that the user has seen. In the end, the recommendation system architecture that was built produced excellent Precision using Recall and Precision testing. Tests are carried out for data using the weighting of product names and product labels. The result obtained 0.84 for the average value of Recall and 0.78 for the average value of Precision.
