\"Making
Making Meaningful User Segments from Datasets Using Product Dissemination and Product Impact<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Online companies face large user populations, making segmentation a daunting exercise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this research, we demonstrate an approach that facilitates user segmentation.\u00a0<\/span>The approach leverages product dissemination and product impact metrics with normalized Shannon entropy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using 4,653 products from an international news and media organization with 134,364,449 user-product engagements, we isolate the key products with the widest product dissemination and the least product impact using entropy-based measures, effectively capturing the engagement levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We demonstrate that a small percentage (0.33% in our dataset) of products are so widely disseminated that they are non-discriminatory, and a large percentage of products (17.02%) are discriminatory but have so little dissemination that their impact is negligible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our approach reduces the product dataset by 17.35% and the number of user segments by 8.18%. Implications are that organizations can isolate impactful products useful for user segmentation to enhance the user focus.<\/span><\/p>\n
