Teradata recommends pSALSA for recommending products to similar users when the product line has limited pairwise history or changes frequently. An example of a product line that changes frequently is apparel, which is subject to seasons and trends.

The input tables for this example represent a graph of customers and the clothes that they buy. The input vertices table, user_product_nodes, contains customer names. The edges table, women_apparel_log, reflects customer shopping patterns. The goal is to find customers who are similar and thus determine product recommendations.
