• Abstract: Users post numerous product-related questions on e-commerce platforms, affecting their purchase decisions. Product-related question answering (PQA) entails utilizing product-related resources to provide precise responses to users. We propose a novel task of Multilingual Cross-market Product-based Question Answering (MCPQA) and define the task as providing answers to product-related questions in a main marketplace by utilizing information from another resource-rich auxiliary marketplace in a multilingual context. We introduce a large-scale dataset comprising over 7 million questions from 17 marketplaces across 11 languages. We then perform automatic translation on the Electronics category of our dataset, naming it as McMarket. We focus on two subtasks: review-based answer generation and product-related question ranking. For each subtask, we label a subset of McMarket using an LLM and further evaluate the quality of the annotations via human assessment. We then conduct experiments to benchmark our dataset, using models ranging from traditional lexical models to LLMs in both single-market and cross-market scenarios across McMarket and the corresponding LLM subset. Results show that incorporating cross-market information significantly enhances performance in both tasks.

  Indic-QA is the largest publicly available context-grounded question-answering dataset for 11 major Indian languages from two language families. We generate a synthetic dataset using the Gemini model to create question-answer pairs given a passage, which is then manually verified for quality assurance. We evaluate various multilingual Large Language Models and their instruction-fine-tuned variants on the benchmark and observe that their performance is subpar, particularly for low-resource languages.

  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.

  Product Question Answering (PQA) systems are key in e-commerce applications to provide responses to customers' questions. xPQA is a large-scale annotated cross-lingual PQA dataset in 12 languages across 9 branches. We present results in (1) candidate ranking, to select the best English candidate to answer a non-English question; and (2) answer generation, to generate a natural-sounding non-English answer based on the selected English candidate.
