The expansion of online retail markets has driven the development of personalized product recommendation services leveraging platform-based product and customer data. Large retailers have implemented seller-oriented recommendation systems, where AI analyzes POS sales data to identify similar stores and recommend products not yet introduced but successful elsewhere. However, small and medium-sized retailers face challenges in adapting to rapidly evolving online market trends due to limited resources. This study proposes a recommendation algorithm tailored for small-scale retailers using sales data from an online shopping mall. We analyzed 600,000 transaction records from 13,607 sellers and 95,938 products, focusing on Beauty Supplies, Kitchenware, and Cleaning Supplies categories. Three algorithms—Attentional Factorization Machines (AFM), Deep Factorization Machines (DeepFM), and Neural Collaborative Filtering (NCF)—were applied to recommend top 10% weekly sales items, with an ensemble model integrating their strengths. To address class imbalance, the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) was employed, and performance was evaluated using AUC, Accuracy, Precision, and Recall metrics on separate training and test datasets. The ensemble model outperformed individual models across all metrics, while DeepFM excelled in Precision. These findings demonstrate that ensemble-based recommendation algorithms enhance recommendation accuracy for suppliers in large-scale online retail environments, offering practical implications for small-scale retailers.

Anomaly detection technique for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is one of the important techniques for ensuring airframe stability. There have been many researches on anomaly detection techniques using deep learning. However, most of research on the anomaly detection techniques are not consider the limited computational processing power and available energy of UAVs. Deep learning model convert to the model compression has significant advantages in terms of computational and energy efficiency for machine learning and deep learning. Therefore, this paper suggests a real-time anomaly detection model for the UAVs, achieved through model compression. The suggested anomaly detection model has three main layers which are a convolutional neural network (CNN) layer, a long short-term memory model (LSTM) layer, and an autoencoder (AE) layer. The suggested anomaly detection model undergoes model compression to increase computational efficiency. The model compression has same level of accuracy to that of the original model while reducing computational processing time of the UAVs. The proposed model can increase the stability of UAVs from a software perspective and is expected to contribute to improving UAVs efficiency through increased available computational capacity from a hardware perspective.

Distribution and logistics industries contribute some of the biggest GDP(gross domestic product) in South Korea and the number of related companies are quarter of the total number of industries in the country. The number of retail tech companies are quickly increased due to the acceleration of the online and untact shopping trend. Furthermore, major distribution and logistics companies try to achieve integrated data management with the fulfillment process. In contrast, small and medium distribution companies still lack of the capacity and ability to develop digital innovation and smartization. Therefore, in this paper, a deep learning-based demand forecasting & recommendation model is proposed to improve business competitiveness. The proposed model is developed based on real sales transaction data to predict future demand for each product. The proposed model consists of six deep learning models, which are MLP(multi-layers perception), CNN(convolution neural network), RNN(recurrent neural network), LSTM(long short term memory), Conv1D-BiLSTM(convolution-long short term memory) for demand forecasting and collaborative filtering for the recommendation. Each model provides the best prediction result for each product and recommendation model can recommend best sales product among companies own sales list as well as competitor’s item list. The proposed demand forecasting model is expected to improve the competitiveness of the small and medium-sized distribution and logistics industry.

Due to COVID-19, changes in consumption trends are taking place in the distribution sector, such as an increase in non-face-to-face consumption and a rapid growth in the online shopping market. However, it is difficult for small and medium-sized export sellers to obtain forecast information on the export market by country, compared to large distributors who can easily build a global sales network. This study is about the prediction of export amount and export volume by country and item for market information analysis of small and medium export sellers. A prediction model was developed using Lasso, XGBoost, and MLP models based on supervised learning and deep learning, and export trends for clothing, cosmetics, and household electronic devices were predicted for Korea's major export countries, the United States, China, and Vietnam. As a result of the prediction, the performance of MAE and RMSE for the Lasso model was excellent, and based on the development results, a market analysis system for small and medium sellers was developed.
