Description |
Currently shopping on the internet is often not a pleasant experience. Finding the
right product can take considerable time, browsing related products is often not possible
and websites can feels anonymous. Imagine if the experience was more like visiting
your local corner shop. Within a friendly local shop the customer is attended by an
agent which understands his or her needs, the relationships between the store's product
lines and the specifics of the local community. We aim to construct a personal web
shopping assistant that uses a variety of knowledge sources to create a personalised
shopping experience. This project is being carried out in conjunction with the Icelandic
internet company INNN (www.innn.com) who will licence the resultant technologies eventually
selling a software product and service. |
