The dataset represents a compilation of user interaction data generated by users who participated in the project's pilot activities in Patras, Greece. Data was generated by users in the SMARTBUY app and includes information about users, stores, product categories, professions, and events.
The dataset comprises the following data:
- users: user account data for the Patras pilot users
- occupation: all possible occupations that the pilot users could choose from
- stores: stores which participated in the Patras pilot
- sel_products_cat: products uploaded to the SMARTBUY platform by retailers
- events: geo-stamped and time-stamped descriptions of a user interaction event (for instance, "user_id 67 rated product_id 722 with rating 4 at location x1 at datetime y1", or "user_id 91 denoted product_id 78 as favorite at location x2 at datetime y2")
- event_types: all possible event types captured by the SMARTBUY platform ('Product searches', 'Product views', 'Featured product', 'Products near you views', 'Product photos browsed', 'Product ratings', 'Clicks on Read More button to read product reviews', 'Clicks on Open map button', 'Clicks on Send this info by email button', 'Products denoted as Favorite')
