Discovering the best parts of ecommerce product descriptions. Data courtesy of Rakuten.

Data Description

• Description files

  • Filename: <type>.desc.<ID>
  • Format: <item title> <item_id> <price> <description> <item_id(not used)><img_url><number of review> <avg_rating> <shop_name> <category_id>

• Sales files

  • Filename: <type>_sales.txt
  • Format: <item_id> <sold unit>

• Note

  • Files are tab-seperated

Approach

Use adversarial discriminative network to find subsequences of description that are predictive of log(sold_unit), irrespective of other factors (title, price, shop rating, category id).
