Abstract: Due to the large number of customers and diverse interest characteristics in e-commerce trading platforms, there are many problems such as large classification errors, low accuracy in customer interest feature extraction, and high classification time cost. A decision tree algorithm-based customer interest classification method for e-commerce trading platforms is proposed. Based on the basic structure of e-commerce transaction platform web pages, non-target nodes and target nodes are removed, and the DFSD fusion method is introduced to extract web browsing content. Then, multi-dimensionally annotate the key interest information and extract customer interest features through multimodal feature fusion. Build a customer interest tree for e-commerce trading platforms, with the customer interest feature data being processed by calculating its entropy value, calculating the information gain of leaf nodes, and building a decision tree classification model based on specific classification rules. Experimental results show that this method reduces classification errors and has good classification results.

Keywords: decision tree algorithm; e-commerce trading platform; customer interest classification; DFSD fusion method; entropy value; information gain.
