• Abstract: A key challenge in attribute value extraction (AVE) from e-commerce sites is how to handle a large number of attributes for diverse products. Although this challenge is partially addressed by a question answering (QA) approach which finds a value in product data for a given query (attribute), it does not work effectively for rare and ambiguous queries. We thus propose simple knowledge-driven query expansion based on possible answers (values) of a query (attribute) for QA-based AVE. We retrieve values of a query (attribute) from the training data to expand the query. We train a model with two tricks, knowledge dropout and knowledge token mixing, which mimic the imperfection of the value knowledge in testing. Experimental results on our cleaned version of AliExpress dataset show that our method improves the performance of AVE (+6.08 macro F1), especially for rare and ambiguous attributes (+7.82 and +6.86 macro F1, respectively).

  High relevance of retrieved and re-ranked items to the search query is the cornerstone of successful product search. We present an array of techniques for leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) for automating the relevance judgment of query-item pairs (QIPs) at scale. Our findings have immediate implications for the growing field of relevance judgment automation in product search.

  We propose a pioneering framework that integrates BERT for classification, a Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) layer for attribute value extraction, and Large Language Models (LLMs) for data annotation. Our approach capitalizes on the robust representation learning of BERT, synergized with the sequence decoding prowess of CRFs, to adeptly identify and extract attribute values. Our methodology is rigorously validated on various datasets, including Walmart, BestBuy's e-commerce NER dataset, and the CoNLL dataset.

  This paper proposes a unified query attribute value extraction system in e-commerce search named QUEACO. For the NER phase, QUEACO adopts a novel teacher-student network, where a teacher network that is trained on the strongly-labeled data generates pseudo-labels. For the AVN phase, we also leverage the weakly-labeled query-to-attribute behavior data to normalize surface form attribute values from queries into canonical forms from products.

Experimental results on the VQA v2.0 validation dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed attribute network.
