Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue entitled “The State of Recommender Systems for E-commerce”.

The e-commerce industry has been continuously growing since its beginning. It has gained even more popularity during the last two years thanks to restricted access to traditional stores as a result of the pandemic. The choice of goods available online imposes additional effort in finding the right products to suit individual needs. Recommender systems play an important role not only in overcoming the information/product overload problem, but also guiding clients through a store as a personal assistant, helping to build a long-term relationship.

This Special Issue focuses on recommender systems for e-commerce and aims to present advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence in this area. It focuses on a wide range of artificial intelligence applications such as: user profiling and updating; text, image, and review processing; and recommendation engines. Any novel works on the application of artificial intelligence for e-commerce recommender systems are highly welcome.

We invite submissions on all topics of algorithms and theories for e-commerce recommender systems, including:

  • Recommender systems for e-commerce;
  • User-adaptive profiling;
  • User preference change detection and adaptation;
  • Context-aware recommender systems;
  • Reinforcement learning for recommender systems;
  • Fuzzy techniques for recommender systems;
  • Transfer learning for recommender systems;
  • Deep learning for recommender systems;
  • Evaluation of recommender systems;
  • Recommendation explainability;
  • Adversarial recommender systems;
  • Privacy and trust in recommender systems.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Electronic commerce has a strong connection with recommendation processes. There are various forms of recommendations, ranging from virtual assistants to online suggestions made in real time. Different algorithms and technologies are utilized for each form, and the choice of technique is dependent on the task at hand. For instance, artificial intelligence may utilize deep learning or machine learning techniques. The type of data also plays a role in determining the techniques used. Predictive modeling is applied to textual data, while image data requires image processing followed by AI algorithms for prediction. This study aimed to investigate the extent to which artificial intelligence is utilized in recommender systems for electronic commerce, as well as the current and future trends in the field. This was achieved through a systematic literature review of scientific articles from the past decade, using WosViewer for data collection and the Bibliometrix R package for analysis. The findings demonstrate that artificial intelligence works in conjunction with other technologies, such as blockchain, virtual reality, and augmented reality, to enhance the consumer experience throughout the e-commerce process.
