Predicting Revenues of Seoul Commercial Alley using Neural Tensor Factorization

초록

Those who want to start their own businesses must decide a location and service to start. In order to make the decision, they must know characteristics of the location and service, such as average revenues and floating population. However, it is usually very difficult to collect and analyze these characteristics. Therefore, we propose a novel deep learning model named Neural Tensor Factorization (NeuralTF) that automatically analyzes the characteristics for predicting revenues, and a method for recommending appropriate location or service to start their businesses based on the predicted revenues. NeuralTF is a combination of Tensor Factorization(TF) and Deep Neural Network(DNN). We compare NeuralTF with other machine learning models using Seoul Commercial Alley dataset. In addition, we compare performances of NeuralTF when TF and DNN components share the embedding space and when they do not.
