The query-based algorithm is a recommendation algorithm that operates by analyzing user queries, ensuring that the suggested items align closely with the user’s expressed preferences or search intent. This approach relies on the user’s input or query to dynamically generate personalized recommendations, enhancing the relevance and responsiveness of the recommendation system. It is designed for headless solutions, meaning it can be integrated into any system that requires personalized recommendations without requiring a user interface.
How does it work?
The query-based algorithm works by analyzing user queries to understand their intent and preferences. It then uses this information to generate personalized recommendations. The algorithm uses machine learning techniques to improve its accuracy over time by learning from user feedback.
Here's how the algorithm works in more detail:
- The user enters a query into the system.
- The algorithm analyzes the query to understand the user's intent and preferences.
- The algorithm searches the database for items that match the user's preferences.
- The algorithm ranks the items based on their relevance to the user's query.
- The algorithm returns a list of personalized recommendations to the user.
When should you use this algorithm?
The query-based algorithm is ideal for headless solutions where personalized recommendations are required, but there is no user interface. It can be used in a variety of applications, such as e-commerce, content recommendation, and search engines.
Example
Here is an example of how the Query-Based algorithm could be used in Experro:
- A shopper visits an e-commerce website and views a product page for a designer chair.
- Experro uses the Query-Based algorithm to analyze the query and understands that the user is looking for designer chairs. It then searches your database for chairs that match the user's preferences, such as chairs that are lightweight and have unique patterns.
- The algorithm ranks the chairs based on their relevance to the user's query and returns a list of personalized recommendations to the user, such as “Lounge Chair” and “Dining Side Chair”.
- It displays a list of Query-Based products for the shopper on the product page.
