User Behavior-Based Collaborative Filtering Recommendation Algorithm and Visualization in Second-Hand Trading Platform

In the backdrop of the digital era, the demand for second-hand trading within campuses has seen a significant rise. This project aims at designing a second-hand trading platform that merges the latest technological trends, providing a secure and convenient trading environment for students. The system utilizes Spring Boot for backend development and Vue along with ElementUI for constructing the user interface, ensuring efficient operation and enhancing user interaction experience. The server employs Spring Boot's built-in Tomcat, simplifying the deployment process. For data persistence, Mybatis framework is used for flexible and efficient interactions with the MySQL database. The platform introduces a collaborative filtering algorithm based on user behavior for smart product recommendations, further improving the user experience. The system integrates core modules such as user management, product browsing, shopping cart functionalities, and order processing, innovatively introducing an offline transaction confirmation mechanism to ensure transaction security and reliability while avoiding legal risks associated with online payments. With its B/S architecture, the platform operates more smoothly, making it more accessible to users. Experimental results demonstrate that the platform has a user-friendly interface and efficient data processing capabilities, receiving widespread recognition and praise from users, proving its practicality and innovativeness.
