Abstract

An approach is disclosed for recommending complementary items based on customer shopping routines. The approach receives anchor item data. The approach identifies a routine that corresponds to the anchor item data. The routine is based on an item purchasing behavior of a customer. The approach determines categorical data within the identified routine by applying a ranking algorithm to the categorical data of the categories and the anchor item data. The categorical data is relevant to the anchor item data. The approach generates relevant item data from the categorical data by applying an item recommendation model to item data that corresponds to the categorical data.
