Goal: Predict which products will an Instacart consumer purchase again.
- Instacart is a grocery ordering and delivery app.
- Currently they use transactional data to develop models that predict which products a user will buy again, try for the first time, or add to their cart next during a session.
- The goal is to predict which previously purchased products will be in a user’s next order.
- For each orderid in the test set, we should predict a space-delimited list of product ids for that order.
- Predict an explicit 'None' value for orders with no reordered items.
- In the data provided, over 3 million grocery orders are present.
- More than 200,000 Instacart users.
- For each user, instacart provided between 4 and 100 of their orders in the dataset, with the sequence of products purchased in each order.
- Reorder of a product by a user highly depends on the frequency and recency of past purchases.
- Fruits and Vegetables are reordered much more than any other product.
- Personal Care products are reordered very less.
- Gradient Boosting gave the best result for the dataset.
- Probability Calibration was needed since the dataset was highly imbalanced.
- purchase_weight_order_up: Weight of user-product pair based on frequency of purchase and recency(order) of purchase.
- reorder_weight_order_up: Weight of user-product pair based on frequency of reorder and recency(order) of reorder.
- #orders_since_last_purchase_up: No. of orders placed by the user after his/her last purchase of the given product.
- #reorders_in_last_3_orders_up: No. of times user has reordered the given product in his/her last 3 orders.
- purchase_weight_days_up: Weight of user-product pair based on frequency of purchase and recency(days) of purchase.
- #purchases_in_last_3_orders_up: No. of times user has purchased the given product in his/her last 3 orders.
- p(reorder|user,product)_up: (#orders where given product was rerodered by user) / (Total #orders by user)
- p(reorder|product)_p: (#reorders of product p) / (#purchases of product p)
- exceed_in_max_lifetime_orders_up: No. of orders placed after the last purchase of the given product by the user - Max no. of orders after which user u purchased product p in past.
- days_since_last_purchase_up: No. of days passed after the last purchase of the given product by the user.
