Unlocking Your Sales Insights: Advanced XGBoost Forecasting Models for Amazon Products

One of the important factors of profitability is the volume of transactions. An accurate prediction of the future transaction volume becomes a pivotal factor in shaping corporate operations and decision-making processes. E-commerce has presented manufacturers with convenient sales channels to, with which the sales can increase dramatically. In this study, we introduce a solution that leverages the XGBoost model to tackle the challenge of predict-ing sales for consumer electronics products on the Amazon platform. Initial-ly, our attempts to solely predict sales volume yielded unsatisfactory results. However, by replacing the sales volume data with sales range values, we achieved satisfactory accuracy with our model. Furthermore, our results in-dicate that XGBoost exhibits superior predictive performance compared to traditional models.

OntoMerger: An Ontology Integration Library for Deduplicating and Connecting Knowledge Graph Nodes

Duplication of nodes is a common problem encountered when building knowledge graphs (KGs) from heterogeneous datasets, where it is crucial to be able to merge nodes having the same meaning. OntoMerger is a Python ontology integration library whose functionality is to deduplicate KG nodes. Our approach takes a set of KG nodes, mappings and disconnected hierarchies and generates a set of merged nodes together with a connected hierarchy. In addition, the library provides analytic and data testing functionalities that can be used to fine-tune the inputs, further reducing duplication, and to increase connectivity of the output graph. OntoMerger can be applied to a wide variety of ontologies and KGs. In this paper we introduce OntoMerger and illustrate its functionality on a real-world biomedical KG.
