Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, device and computer program product for product design based on user reviews. Reviews on a product are obtained from a plurality of users. These reviews are analyzed to determine sentiments of the users with respect to a property of the product. A plurality of candidate product designs are generated by changing a first value of the property based on the sentiments of the users. Then one or more new product designs are obtained based on the candidate product designs.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- using optical character recognition (OCR) technology associated with a virtual product interface to receive a first plurality of reviews associated with a first product, wherein the first product is a computer-generated virtual product, wherein the first plurality of reviews include text that is digitalized and captured by the OCR technology;
- based on the received first plurality of reviews, determining a plurality of sentiments associated with one or more values of a virtual product representation of the first product, wherein determining the plurality of sentiments of the plurality of users comprises quantizing the plurality of sentiments, and wherein the one or more values represent one or more properties, or configurations, of the first product;
- generating a plurality of different virtual product representations by adjusting the one or more values associated with the first product according to the determined plurality of quantized sentiments that are based on the first plurality of reviews, wherein the plurality of different virtual product representations represent a first plurality of candidate product designs based on the first product, and wherein each of the plurality of different virtual product representations comprises at least one adjusted value that corresponds to at least one adjusted property or configuration to the first product based on the determined plurality of quantized sentiments;
- and
- generating a new product design by aggregating the at least one adjusted value associated with each of the generated first plurality of candidate product designs.
2 more elements
A computer system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
- using optical character recognition (OCR) technology associated with a virtual product interface to receive a first plurality of reviews associated with a first product, wherein the first product is a computer-generated virtual product, wherein the first plurality of reviews include text that is digitalized and captured by the OCR technology;
- based on the received first plurality of reviews, determining a plurality of sentiments associated with one or more values of a virtual product representation of the first product, wherein determining the plurality of sentiments of the plurality of users comprises quantizing the plurality of sentiments, and wherein the one or more values represent one or more properties, or configurations, of the first product;
- generating a plurality of different virtual product representations by adjusting the one or more values associated with the first product according to the determined plurality of quantized sentiments that are based on the first plurality of reviews, wherein the plurality of different virtual product representations represent a first plurality of candidate product designs based on the first product, and wherein each of the plurality of different virtual product representations comprises at least one adjusted value that corresponds to at least one adjusted property or configuration to the first product based on the determined plurality of quantized sentiments;
- and
- generating a new product design by aggregating the at least one adjusted value associated with each of the generated first plurality of candidate product designs.
3 more elements
A computer program product, comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage devices and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage devices, the program instructions executable by a processor, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to use optical character recognition (OCR) technology associated with a virtual product interface to receive a first plurality of reviews associated with a first product, wherein the first product is a computer-generated virtual product, wherein the first plurality of reviews include text that is digitalized and captured by the OCR technology;
- based on the received first plurality of reviews, program instructions to determine a plurality of sentiments associated with one or more values of a virtual product representation of the first product, wherein the program instructions to determine the plurality of sentiments of the plurality of users comprises program instructions to quantize the plurality of sentiments, and wherein the one or more values represent one or more properties, or configurations, of the first product;
- program instructions to generate a plurality of different virtual product representations by adjusting the one or more values associated with the first product according to the determined plurality of quantized sentiments that are based on the first plurality of reviews, wherein the plurality of different virtual product representations represent a first plurality of candidate product designs based on the first product, and wherein each of the plurality of different virtual product representations comprises at least one adjusted value that corresponds to at least one adjusted property or configuration to the first product based on the determined plurality of quantized sentiments;
- and
- program instructions to generate a new product design by aggregating the at least one adjusted value associated with each of the generated first plurality of candidate product designs.
