Abstract: Semantically annotated data, using markup languages like RDFa and Microdata, has become more and more publicly available in the Web, especially in the area of e-commerce. Thus, a large amount of structured product descriptions are freely available and can be used for various applications, such as product search or recommendation. However, little efforts have been made to analyze the categories of the available product descriptions. Although some products have an explicit category assigned, the categorization schemes vary a lot, as the products originate from thousands of different sites. This heterogeneity makes the use of supervised methods, which have been proposed by most previous works, hard to apply. Therefore, in this paper, we explain how distantly supervised approaches can be used to exploit the heterogeneous category information in order to map the products to set of target categories from an existing product catalogue. Our results show that, even though this task is by far not trivial, we can reach almost 56% accuracy for classifying products into 37 categories.
