• Abstract: While buying a product from the e-commerce websites, customers generally have a plethora of questions. From the perspective of both the e-commerce service provider as well as the customers, there must be an effective question answering system to provide immediate answers to the user queries. While certain questions can only be answered after using the product, there are many questions which can be answered from the product specification itself. Our work takes a first step in this direction by finding out the relevant product specifications, that can help answering the user questions. We propose an approach to automatically create a training dataset for this problem. We utilize recently proposed XLNet and BERT architectures for this problem and find that they provide much better performance than the Siamese model, previously applied for this problem. Our model gives a good performance even when trained on one vertical and tested across different verticals.

  Given a database (DB) of question/answer (q/a) pairs, it is possible to answer a target question by scanning the DB for similar questions. We build a large scale DB of 6.3M q/a pairs, using public questions, and design a new system based on neural IR and a q/a pair reranker. We show that our DB-based approach is competitive with Web-based methods, i.e., a QA system built on top the BING search engine.

  Product Question Answering (PQA) on E-Commerce platforms has attracted increasing attention as it can act as an intelligent online shopping assistant. It is insufficient to provide the same "completely summarized" answer to all customers, since many customers are more willing to see personalized answers with customized information only for themselves. We propose a novel multi-perspective user preference model for generating personalized answers in PQA.
