As the core link of the “Internet + Recycling” process, the value identification of the sorting center is a great challenge due to its small and imbalanced data set. This paper utilizes transfer fuzzy c-means to improve the value assessment accuracy of the sorting center by transferring the knowledge of customers clustering. To ensure the transfer effect, an inter-class balanced data selection method is proposed to select a balanced and more qualified subset of the source domain. Furthermore, an improved RFM (Recency, Frequency, and Monetary) model, named GFMR (Gap, Frequency, Monetary, and Repeat), has been presented to attain a more reasonable attribute description for sorting centers and consumers. The application in the field of electronic waste recycling shows the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method.
