Do Comments Drive Sales? Exploring the Impact of Real-Time Comments on Live Streaming E-Commerce Performance

Yaozong Li, Weina Lin, Yuanyue Feng# (# corresponding author)

Accepted by the Doctoral Consortium of the 24th Wuhan International Conference on E-Business (WHICEB) 2025-05-11

[Purpose/Significance] This study aims to deepen the understanding of how real-time comments influence sales performance in the context of live streaming e-commerce. [Methodology/Process] A theoretical framework was constructed based on the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM). Utilizing real data from 52 livestreams on the Douyin platform, two deep learning-based text classification models were trained and employed to conduct an in-depth analysis of comments. A generalized linear model (GLM) was then employed for empirical analysis. [Findings/Conclusion] It was found that comment length has a significantly negative effect on sales, whereas sentiments and product attention exhibit an inverted U-shaped relationship with sales, and the number of comments has a significantly positive impact on sales. The model demonstrated high explanatory power (Pseudo R² = 0.8249). [Originality/Value] Cutting-edge natural language processing (NLP) methods were applied to empirical studies in live streaming e-commerce, fostering interdisciplinary integration and advancing methodological innovation in the field. The conclusions, grounded in real-world data, offer valuable insights and provide a theoretical foundation for merchants to optimize their livestreaming strategies.

Research on Sentiment Analysis of Live Streaming E-commerce Real-time Comments Based on RCGA-NET

This project focuses on the intersection of AI, management science and e-commerce, applying deep learning to live - streaming e - commerce. I proposed the RCGA - Net model to extract sentiment features and classify evaluation objects in comments. I collected real - world data from TikTok live - streaming rooms, including comments and sales figures, to analyze the impact of comment features on sales.

Machine Learning-Based Pricing of Used Sailboats
Machine Learning-Based Pricing of Used Sailboats

This project aims to predict the listing prices of second-hand sailboats using machine learning methods, including Neural Networks, Random Forest, LGBM, and XGBoost. After data collection and preprocessing, model performance is evaluated through learning curve comparison, with LGBM chosen for its accuracy and good fit. The analysis focuses on regional effects on sailboat pricing, exploring variations by geographic area and model type. Additionally, a regional simulation model is developed to predict second-hand sailboat prices in Hong Kong based on economic and freight indicators. Statistical methods like paired sample T-tests are used to analyze pricing differences between monohulls and catamarans.

A Grayscale-Simulated Jacquard Fabric Design Method with Information Hiding Function
A Grayscale-Simulated Jacquard Fabric Design Method with Information Hiding Function

This project, conducted in collaboration with a textile engineering research team, proposed a novel design method for Jacquard fabrics that integrates both grayscale image simulation and hidden information embedding. The technique utilizes combinations of English letters and Arabic numerals to encode visual patterns that are imperceptible to the human eye but embedded within the grayscale representation of the fabric.
