Recommending a shoe size based on best fitting past shoe purchases

摘要

An application on an e-commerce website predicts the best fitting size of a desired shoe type selected by a user based on the best fitting shoes previously purchased by the user. A robotic measuring device is used to measure the inner dimensions of sizes of many shoe types, including first and second shoe types. The application determines that the user has purchased the first shoe type in a first size that fit the user well. The application compares the dimensions of the first size to the dimensions of various sizes of the second shoe type and identifies a second size of the second shoe type whose dimensions match the dimensions of the first size. The first shoe type is chosen from a shoe category similar to that of the second shoe type. The application then recommends that the second size of the second shoe type will fit the user well.
