Research Type Experimental In our empirical evaluations with a mix of realworld data and simulated data, the performance of the heuristic in terms of the persona based recommendations (quantified by similarity scores and items recommended) closely matched (differed by only 8% each with) that of the dynamic program and at the same time heuristic ran at least twice faster compared to the dynamic program.

Experiment Setup Yes The experiments were performed using a mix of real-world data and randomly generated data. The road network was generated using the real-world data, i.e., stores, their locations, inventory and their costs, landmarks and commute time between each of these nodes were generated from real-world data whereas user queries (products to purchase, source and destination, cost and time constraints) were generated randomly. Specifically, the data was generated as follows. The road network (i.e. landmarks, stores, and commute times) was generated using Google Directions, Places and Geocode APIs for a locality called Whitefield in Bengaluru city in India. 20 user queries were randomly generated in which 4 queries were for purchasing 2 products and 16 queries were for purchasing 3 products. The cost and budget constraints were set to INR 2500 (Indian Rupee) and 35 mins respectively. The source and destination of the shopper for each query were chosen such that there is at least one path that satisfies the time constraint. Out of the 20 generated problem instances, 10 were for luxuriant and 10 were for infrequent shoppers. Accordingly, for each instance, similarity scores were computed as discussed in Section 4; similarity score for a given product is a real number in the range 0 to 1.
