Footwear Size Recommendation System

While shopping for fashion products, customers usually prefer to try-out products to examine fit, material, overall look and feel. Due to lack of try out options during online shopping, it becomes pivotal to provide customers with as much of this information as possible to enhance their shopping experience. Also it becomes essential to provide same experience for new customers. Our work here focuses on providing a production ready size recommendation system for shoes and address the challenge of providing recommendation for users with no previous purchases on the platform. In our work, we present a probabilistic approach based on user co-purchase data facilitated by generating a brand-brand relationship graph. Specifically we address two challenges that are commonly faced while implementing such solution. 1. Sparse signals for less popular or new products in the system 2. Extending the solution for new users. Further we compare and contrast this approach with our previous work and show significant improvement both in recommendation precision and coverage.

On Designing A Questionnaire Based Legacy-UI Honeyword Generation Approach For Achieving Flatness

Modern trend sees a lot usage of \textit{honeywords} (or fake password) for protecting the original passwords in the password file. However, the usage of \textit{honeywords} has strongly been criticized under the different security and usability parameters. Though many of these issues have been successfully resolved, research in this domain is still facing difficulties in \textit{achieving flatness} (or producing the equally probable \textit{honeywords} with reference to the original password). Though recent studies have made a significant effort to meet this criterion, we show that they either fall short or are based on some unrealistic assumptions. To practically fulfill this flatness criterion, we propose a questionnaire-oriented authentication system based on the episodic (or long term) memory of the users. Our study reveals that proposed mechanism is capable of generating significantly improved flatter list of \textit{honeywords} compared to the existing protocols. The subsequent discussion shows that the proposed system also overcomes all the limitations of the existing state of arts with no lesser than $95\%$ goodness.
