Abstract  

[Objective] This study tried to describe the customers’ characteristics effectively. [Methods] The proposed framework aimed to explore the personal and social relationship among the customers and their friends on the microblog platform. We described the customers’ characteristics using self-defined tags and then created segmentation with the help of text clustering and non-negative matrix factorization technologies. [Results] The method based on non-negative matrix factorization achieved an approximately 86.130% on average asw index, which outperformed traditional methods based on K-means and hierarchical clustering. [Limitations] The customers’ characteristic cannot be described only by himself and his friends with self-defined tags on Microblogging. [Conclusions] The proposed framework could improve the effectiveness of characteristics description, evaluation and visualization of microblog customer segmentation.
Key words： Customer segmentation      Microblogging marketing      Text clustering      Non-negative matrix factorization
