Challenge: Existing approaches to extract attribute values from product descriptions are incomplete and noisy due to the tedious nature of this task.
Approach: They propose a framework to extract attributes from product descriptions to acquire implicit attributes in addition to the explicit ones.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms existing methods on the extraction of implicit attribute values while achieving comparable performance for the explicit ones.
