Abstract

Recommendation system plays important role to predict the relevant product from large number of available products. The conventional recommendation systems focus on the item user interaction and predict the products based on the similar user interest or item purchased history. Later recommendation is further enhanced by context aware and sequential based recommendation; which predicts based on current search and browse session information respectively. In the recommendation; current important challenge is addressing both accuracy and Serendipity; predicting the interested unknown products. In this paper, we propose hybrid recommendation framework to overcome this challenge, target user specific Q learning reinforcement (TUQL) approach, predicts Top N recommendation effectively based on the current context, user past purchase behavior, temporal data and consider real target end user. The experimental results of the proposed recommendation system show better performance than the existing product recommendation systems in terms of prediction accuracy on relevant products for the target users and lesser computation time.
