Wait! Why are those fries close to the soda? Are the retailers guessing your needs? Are they trying to influence you to buy more? Evgheni Polisciuc, a PhD student at University of Coimbra will show how location of the objects inside a retail shop and even the location of the shop are crucial for retail and how data science influences all the process. Human beings are creatures of habit and your consumer behaviour is more patterned than you might think.
