I wonder why these 2 online shoppings don't use any intelligent algorithms to recommend stuff buyers may like. I mean they have so many data that they can mine and analyse.

In Amazon, the algo will predict what else you will like by checking other customers purchase patterns when you bought the same thing. Something like if you like this item, you will like these recommended items too. In a way their algo is similar to Google Youtube algo.

In Shopee and Lazada. After you bought one phone, all you can see in the front page are phones. I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT ONE FROM YOU LAH!




p/s: shopee and lazada big bosses, if you are reading this please employ me as your technology advisor.

Eh hello, I already announced to this forum before that I got online shopping addiction. Shopee and Lazada apps are in my phone's front page.

To me Lazada and Shopee algo are almost non-effective. After you bought something, you will go clueless what else to buy since they just recommend the same items to you (from other shops, or different brands). You just bought an air fryer? oh why not buy more air fryers? (instead of recommending me to buy other kitchen appliances).

Never heard of AI algo to learn patterns or habits ka? We are already in year 2021 lah my friend, 2021 also is very fast to end already.

Youtube, Amazon, Netflix all using AI to learn the customers' habits.

Strangely China is not using any so far. Maybe for other systems, but definitely not for online shopping.

I wonder in local universities got any courses on data science or not, and what do they teach? Or people need to learn this on their own.

Many boast they are data scientist when they know business intelligence software...
