Automated dictionary discovery for the online marketplace

Abstract

Shopping online has become a prolific activity as the number of online vendors and consumers continue to rise each year. In 2009, almost $15 billion in goods and services were ordered online by Canadians [1]. About 53% of these consumers 'window shop' by doing product research before actually making a purchase. Therefore, it is important that online vendors provide up-to-date and accurate product information to assist users in making educated decisions. In this poster, we present a tool that discovers product features, which will assist vendors and consumers to more accurately compare products in the online marketplace
