Abstract

Online recommendation system is a computer-based intelligent technique which has become popular in many e-commerce Web sites. It is used to recommend items to a user on the basis of some information like past feedback of user, or similarity with other users’ buying pattern. Nowadays, the business in e-commerce is growing rapidly, and recommendation system plays a significant role to provide personalized recommendations to the customer or user. But the drawback of these methods is that these approaches need to collect and process huge amount of data to provide good recommendation. In this work, user’s facial expression is used to develop efficient recommendation system. Video of user’s facial expression is captured through a webcam. With the help of facial expressions, emotion of the user is detected, and analysis is done. The proposed work provides an intelligent recommendation system on-the-fly without relying on historical ratings or previous purchase records. This approach is used to predict the human emotion based on the facial features and develop ways to predict the reaction of a customer on selecting/purchasing a product. The experiment result shows that the proposed method can produce better online recommendation system as it captures customer’s face and reaction in real time, but at the time of providing rating of a product, a customer may not express actual feedback. The experimental results indicate its reliability based on its performance in real-world solution.
