  • QUOTE: … there is a lot of information not being captured: characteristics (e.g., logo printed on the back), as well as semantic properties (e.g., trendiness, formality). Some of the attributes, e.g., printed logo, are often explicit in the product descriptions that can be found on retailer web sites, whereas others, such as ‘trendiness’, are implicit. We describe our work on a system capable of inferring both kinds of attributes to enhance product databases. … The first part of this paper dealt with extracting soft, semantic attributes that are implicitly mentioned in descriptions. Another class of attributes associated with products are explicit physical attributes such as size and color.
