Research on Intelligent Platform Economy Pricing Model Based on Network Traffic and User Profiling Data

The platform economy evolved rapidly due to technological breakthroughs, hence new challenges emerged in terms of pricing strategies affected from different user behaviors and market demand dynamics. Traditional pricing methods are not up to this type of challenge, and it requires a model able to be more agile — in real time. The study presents “DeepPrice,” a dynamic pricing model using deep learning namely Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to achieve the optimal platform pricing strategies in response to user behavior and market signals. The research has an experimental design for the development and testing of the DeepPrice model. The model is pre-trained by the transaction data of an important e-commerce platform for this task. CNNs learn user profiles and product properties via the encoding layer, while DRL models implement the strategy of adjusting price according to behavior actions in tensor form. Metrics such as platform revenue, user conversion rates, and customer satisfaction are used to validate the model back to the model performance. Our solution helped DeepPrice to generate incremental 20% platform revenue on average and better adjust to the market challenges. It performed better than standard pricing solutions, especially in times of high demand, and effectively personalized price-pointing for top-value customers to drive higher conversions and improve customer satisfaction. This study points to the promise of using deep learning to improve dynamic pricing in platform economies. Flexible & Scalable Solution for any IndustryDeepPrice Nevertheless, challenges regarding the computational cost of implementing personalized pricing strategies and ethical debates surrounding such strategies remain to be studied in more detail. In platform economy, the reinforcement learner has a significant potential to provide a reliable real-time pricing solution with CNN in DeepPrice to improve both profit and customer satidfaction.
