Abstract
The majority of book sellers usually abstains from offering books that are of too little interest to potential customers. Thence, such sellers might face profit losses, because the product popularity can vary from place to place. In order to avoid these losses, this disquisition introduces Reader’s Choice – a system that recommends sellers to offer books based on the interest of people in different locations. Generally, most residents in a proximity share similar interests. In accordance with the search trends, Reader’s Choice can learn and output the vogue of books in various regions. Thereby, the searches and purchases help Reader’s Choice to determine where books are frequently sought respectively bought. Accordingly, Reader’s Choice can suggest products in regions where they were more often searched and merchandised. Basically, Reader’s Choice analyzes trends in datasets to draw insights. It employs Hadoop for the storage and analysis of search results and deals. A prudent performance scrutiny has testified Reader’s Choice for the best functionality and the second-best information retrieval metrics among competitive book recommendation systems.
