Product Attribute Extraction is the task of automatically discovering attributes of products from text descriptions. In this paper, we propose a new approach which is both unsupervised and domain independent to extract the attributes. With our approach, we are able to achieve 92% precision and 62% recall in our experiments. Our experiments with varying dataset sizes show the robustness of our a...

Today, companies across numerous industries find themselves on the cusp of a product development revolution. The incorporation of software and electronics into mechanical-based products is driving a wave of new innovation as products become more like intelligent systems that are interactive, proactive, changeable and upgradable. With software and electronics driving so much new product value, l...

This paper shows that Mechatronics is more than just combining mechanical, electrical and information processing elements. Although state of the art control engineering works from a systems point of view, it becomes evident that mechatronics design is much more than understanding interacting phenomena of the different building elements, transferring these phenomena into abstract models and mani...

Standardized product classification systems play a major role for searching and comparing offered products on electronic markets. Especially in case of large multivendor product catalogs classified data becomes an important asset and success factor. The most known systems are UNSPSC and eCl@ss, however they are still developing, and new systems are emerging as well. Classification systems diffe...
