Abstract
A system includes a content extraction engine comprising at least one processor and configured to receive a content page including first product data for a target product, remove noise content from the content page, thereby generating a remainder content page, compare the remainder content page to a first synonym list to identify the first product data, the first synonym list including a first data field name, and provide the first product data as associated with the first data field name.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a content extraction engine comprising at least one processor and configured to:
- receive a content page including first product data for a target product, the content page being configured to enable the target product to be offered for sale on an e-commerce site on the Internet;
- remove noise content from the content page, thereby generating a remainder content page, the noise content pertaining to data unrelated to the target product, the remainder content page containing target product data useable to enable product comparison between multiple vendors' listings;
- compare the remainder content page to a first synonym list to identify the first product data, the first synonym list including a first data field name and including a list of words that may be used to identify a particular type of data for the target product;
- provide the first product data as associated with the first data field name to a database, the first product data being configured to enable performance comprising providing product comparisons between multiple vendors' listings.
A computer-implemented method for extracting content from a content page, the method is performed by a processor, the method comprising:
- receiving a content page including first product data for a target product, the content page being configured to enable the target product to be offered for sale on an e-commerce site on the Internet;
- removing noise content from the content page, thereby generating a remainder content page, the noise content pertaining to data unrelated to the target product, the remainder content page containing target product data usable to enable product comparison between multiple vendors' listings;
- comparing, by the processor, the remainder content page to a first synonym list to identify the first product data, the first synonym list including a first data field name and including a list of words that may be used to identify a particular type of data for the target product;
- providing the first product data as associated with the first data field name to a database, the first product data being configured to enable performance comprising providing product comparisons between multiple vendors' listings.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a content page including first product data for a target product, the content page being configured to enable the target product to be offered for sale on an e-commerce site on the Internet;
- removing noise content from the content page, thereby generating a remainder content page, the noise content pertaining to data unrelated to the target product, the remainder content page containing target product data usable to enable product comparison between multiple vendors' listings;
- comparing the remainder content page to a first synonym list to identify the first product data, the first synonym list including a first data field name and including a list of words that may be used to identify a particular type of data for the target product;
- providing the first product data as associated with the first data field name to a database, the first product data being configured to enable performance comprising providing product comparisons between multiple vendors' listings.
