摘要

As consumer preferences increasingly focus on emotional experiences, product design must address both functional and emotional needs. Traditional methods for collecting consumer feedback, such as surveys and focus groups, have limitations in terms of time and representativeness. Online reviews, however, offer valuable and real-time insights into consumer satisfaction and product perceptions. This study enhances product design by integrating machine learning with Kansei engineering, linking emotional responses directly to product features. To improve both the accuracy and interpretability of the model, we propose a multi-strategy improved Teaching–Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm, optimized for the MITLBO-LightGBM model. In addition, the SHAP method is used to provide clear explanations of the model’s predictions, helping designers understand how specific design features impact consumer evaluations. By analyzing online review data, we identify the key product attributes that influence consumer satisfaction, offering a practical framework for data-driven product design improvements.
