Transferable and Efficient: Unifying Dynamic Multi-Domain Product Categorization (2023.acl-industry)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | e-commerce platforms are encountering increasingly complex product categorization scenarios . multiple business domains correspond to different category taxonomies, with different depths and distinct literal expressions of category names. |
| Approach: | They propose a taxonomy-agnostic framework that calculates semantic relatedness between product titles and category names in the vector space. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms strong baselineson three dynamic multi-domain product categorization tasks. |

FABRIC: Fully-Automated Broad Intent Categorization in E-commerce (2025.emnlp-industry)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing query classification models have excellent predictive performance on single-intent queries, but there is little research on predicting multiple-intentions for broad queries. |
| Approach: | They propose to combine user click data, query-item relevance and LLM judgments to create an automatic method for multi-label e-commerce query classification. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method reduces the ambiguity of the annotations by blending the label assessment from three different sources: user click data, query-item relevance and LLM judgments. |
