Enhanced E-Commerce Attribute Extraction: Innovating with Decorative Relation Correction and LLAMA 2.0-Based Annotation
Dec 09, 2023
The rapid proliferation of e-commerce platforms accentuates the need for advanced search and retrieval systems to foster a superior user experience. Central to this endeavor is the precise extraction of product attributes from customer queries, enabling refined search, comparison, and other crucial e-commerce functionalities. Unlike traditional Named Entity Recognition (NER) tasks, e-commerce queries present a unique challenge owing to the intrinsic decorative relationship between product types and attributes. In this study, 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, significantly advancing attribute recognition from customer inquiries. 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. We introduce a novel decorative relation correction mechanism to further refine the extraction process based on the nuanced relationships between product types and attributes inherent in e-commerce data. Employing LLMs, we annotate additional data to expand the model's grasp and coverage of diverse attributes. Our methodology is rigorously validated on various datasets, including Walmart, BestBuy's e-commerce NER dataset, and the CoNLL dataset, demonstrating substantial improvements in attribute recognition performance. Particularly, the model showcased promising results during a two-month deployment in Walmart's Sponsor Product Search, underscoring its practical utility and effectiveness.
Repo2Vec: A Comprehensive Embedding Approach for Determining Repository Similarity
Jul 11, 2021
How can we identify similar repositories and clusters among a large online archive, such as GitHub? Determiningrepository similarity is an essential building block in studying the dynamics and the evolution of such software ecosystems. The key challenge is to determine the right representation for the diverse repository features in a way that: (a) it captures all aspects of the available information, and (b) it is readily usable by MLalgorithms. We propose Repo2Vec, a comprehensive embedding approach to represent a repository as a distributed vector by combining features from three types of information sources. As our key novelty, we consider three types of information: (a)metadata, (b) the structure of the repository, and (c) the source code. We also introduce a series of embedding approaches to represent and combine these information types into a single embedding. We evaluate our method with two real datasets from GitHub for a combined 1013 repositories. First, we show that our method outperforms previous methods in terms of precision (93%vs 78%), with nearly twice as many Strongly Similar repositories and 30% fewer False Positives. Second, we show how Repo2Vecprovides a solid basis for: (a) distinguishing between malware and benign repositories, and (b) identifying a meaningful hierarchical clustering. For example, we achieve 98% precision and 96%recall in distinguishing malware and benign repositories. Overall, our work is a fundamental building block for enabling many repository analysis functions such as repository categorization by target platform or intention, detecting code-reuse and clones, and identifying lineage and evolution.
