Is it possible to highlight products that were added to the cart but not bought on the homepage for personalized recommendations?

@ramesh_n yes you would use a profile attribute to signify the visitor has added this item to cart before. If they signed in you could identify the hash as well to be cross device. This would allow for a more personalized algorithm to complimentary items.

Once you have a product in cart, for example a laptop, would it ever make sense to start recommending accessories for that product across the site (rather than just on cart or subseries pages)? So, once a product is added, accessories recommendations take the place of the regular rec for you type recommendations.

@robba2  thank you for your question. Yes, what you would need is a custom out of the box algorithm to tie in accessories to products that would depend on a profile scripting activation of the product add to cart to tie into that recommendation spot. This way you can test multiple accessory algorithms and features.

For the rec for you algorithm, I understand that the behavioral data is based on views and orders. Then, in the multi-key retrieval stage, the recs from products a customer has ordered are given double the weight of the recs from products the customer has only viewed. I have two questions based on this logic:

 

1. Are we able to add other hyperparameter logic? Specifically, could we include a "product added to cart" logic?

2. Could we customize the weights at the multi-key retrieval stage?

Great question, thank you. Would you be able to provide more details on the assumptions you're working with it when trying to add additional parameters or even weight change? While this is not possible at this point with recommendations algorithms, you might want to combine recommendations with Auto-Target activities. For the configurable recommended for you algorithm, please submit a community idea.

Can we dynamically retrieve the top discounted products and showcase them as personalized recommendations on the site?

@ramesh_n this is very possible in the box in Target. You would have to send that data into target and use a set of filters. By doing this, you would be ready to have personalization recommendations by top discount. 

 

I suggest a friendly read of this as well to help give some background on the potential of feeds. Its where so much creativity can be reached with recommendations - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target/using/recommendations/entities/feeds.html?lang=en
