Solved Problems:

1. Recommending items based on Past Purchase History

• There is a repetition that happens while buying grocery items and a user's past purchase history is extremely crucial for offering good recommendations.
• For recommendations on the past order, there is a need for an association between the current item and the previously bought items. Apriori Algorithm of ARL is used to find the association among products.

2. Recommending items based on ratings from Similar Users

• People from the same region have similar staple food and dietary habits hence having similar product needs became the basis for us taking up this use case.
• To find the required similarities between the users, the Memory-based Collaborative filtering technique was used by implementing the nearest neighbors algorithm thereby identifying similar users with the common trends using the user rating data.

3. Recommending items to the New Users based on Product Ratings

• Since a new user has no previous purchase history, there is no understanding about their buying habits before, hence it is only fair to show them the best-rated products to pique their interest.
• In order to get the Top 10 recommendations based on the ratings by other users, products were filtered on the basis of a combination of a number of ratings and average ratings of the product by all the other users.

4. Recommending items based on products similar to items in the cart

• An alternate choice of items that the user adds to the cart provides a variety of options for the same item to the user to choose and buy from.
• All the similar items were grouped together into a single category. When an item was added in the cart, a random item for the corresponding category was recommended.
