• Abstract: Extracting structured information from unstructured data is one of the key challenges in modern information retrieval applications, including e-commerce. Here, we demonstrate how recent advances in machine learning, combined with a recently published multilingual data set with standardized fine-grained product category information, enable robust product attribute extraction in challenging transfer learning settings. Our models can reliably predict product attributes across online shops, languages, or both. Furthermore, we show that our models can be used to match product taxonomies between online retailers.

• A Multimodal In-Context Tuning Approach for E-Commerce Product Description Generation [47.70824723223262]
  We propose a new setting for generating product descriptions from images, augmented by marketing keywords. We present a simple and effective Multimodal In-Context Tuning approach, named ModICT, which introduces a similar product sample as the reference. Experiments demonstrate that ModICT significantly improves the accuracy (by up to 3.3% on Rouge-L) and diversity (by up to 9.4% on D-5) of generated results compared to conventional methods.

• Enhanced E-Commerce Attribute Extraction: Innovating with Decorative Relation Correction and LLAMA 2.0-Based Annotation [4.81846973621209]
  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.

  Continual learning often relies on the availability of extensive annotated datasets, an assumption that is unrealistically time-consuming and costly in practice. We explore a novel paradigm termed name-only continual learning where time and cost constraints prohibit manual annotation. Our proposed solution leverages the expansive and ever-evolving internet to query and download uncurated webly-supervised data for image classification.
