• Abstract summary: We propose a multi-task learning model with value generation/classification and attribute prediction called JPAVE. Two variants of our model are designed for open-world and closed-world scenarios. Experimental results on a public dataset demonstrate the superiority of our model compared with strong baselines.

• Abstract: Product attribute value extraction is an important task in e-Commerce which can help several downstream applications such as product search and recommendation. Most previous models handle this task using sequence labeling or question answering method which rely on the sequential position information of values in the product text and are vulnerable to data discrepancy between training and testing. This limits their generalization ability to real-world scenario in which each product can have multiple descriptions across various shopping platforms with different composition of text and style. They also have limited zero-shot ability to new values. In this paper, we propose a multi-task learning model with value generation/classification and attribute prediction called JPAVE to predict values without the necessity of position information of values in the text. Furthermore, the copy mechanism in value generator and the value attention module in value classifier help our model address the data discrepancy issue by only focusing on the relevant part of input text and ignoring other information which causes the discrepancy issue such as sentence structure in the text. Besides, two variants of our model are designed for open-world and closed-world scenarios. In addition, copy mechanism introduced in the first variant based on value generation can improve its zero-shot ability for identifying unseen values. Experimental results on a public dataset demonstrate the superiority of our model compared with strong baselines and its generalization ability of predicting new values.

  Existing PTLM-based models for TSC can be categorized into two groups: 1) fine-tuning-based models that adopt PTLM as the context encoder; 2) prompting-based models that transfer the classification task to the text/word generation task. We present a new perspective of leveraging PTLM for TSC: simultaneously leveraging the merits of both language modeling and explicit target-context interactions via contextual target attributes.

  Product attribute value extraction plays an important role for many real-world applications in e-Commerce such as product search and recommendation. Previous methods treat it as a sequence labeling task that needs more annotation for position of values in the product text. We propose a classification model with semantic matching and negative label sampling for attribute value extraction.

  SAGE is a Generative LLM for inferring attribute values for products across world-wide e-Commerce catalogs.

  A document summary's quality can be assessed by human annotators on various criteria, both objective ones like grammar and correctness, and subjective ones like informativeness, succinctness, and appeal. Most of the automatic evaluation methods like BLUE/ROUGE may be not able to adequately capture the above dimensions. We propose a new evaluation framework based on LLMs, which provides a comprehensive evaluation framework by comparing generated text and reference text from both objective and subjective aspects.

Our approach, in-context BERT fine-tuning, produces a single shared scoring model for all items with a carefully-designed input structure. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach via local evaluations using the training dataset provided by the challenge.

  We study the attribute mining problem in an open-world setting to extract novel attributes and their values. We propose a principled framework that first generates attribute value candidates and then groups them into clusters of attributes. Our model significantly outperforms strong baselines and can generalize to unseen attributes and product types.
