Abstract  

[Objective] This paper proposes a model to identify the interests of online shoppers based on their browsing behaviors, aiming to improve the personalized recommendation services. [Methods] First, we launched experiment to collect clickstream data from Taobao and TMall. Second, we used the Bisecting K-means algorithm to analyze the retrieved data. Finally, we established the relationship mapping structure between interests and behaviors. [Results] We found four types of user’s implicit interests: Attention, Comprehension, Attitudes and Intention. Users with the Attitude and Intention types tended to make purchase. The characteristics of browsing paths were different among the users. [Limitations] We did not examine unstructured data, i.e., online sales advertisements, in this study. [Conclusions] This paper investigates the user interests in online shopping, and then improve the personalized recommendation services of the E-commerce platforms.
