WebSphere Commerce Recommendation Engine powered by LikeMinds 5.2

Business Edition onlyProfessional Edition onlyWebSphere Commerce Recommendation Engine is an optional application included with the WebSphere Commerce. WebSphere Commerce Recommendation Engine is powered by LikeMinds, a powerful collaborative filtering engine that provides product recommendations based on customer behavior patterns.

WebSphere Commerce Recommendation Engine collects profile information based on a number of algorithms to develop mentor groups. These groups are the foundation for subsequent product recommendations. Customers that fit the profile of a particular community are presented with recommendations based on the preferences of others in the community. This personalization model is referred to as adaptive when compared with other models because the recommendations are based on current customer purchasing trends, and tend to change over time.

The WebSphere Commerce Recommendation Engine client is installed during the WebSphere Commerce product installation. The client is installed as a JAR file, named LMRecommender.jar.
