Abstract

Identifying personal, institutional or product names in a text is an important task for numerous applications. This paper describes a solution for the Consumer Products Contest organized at International Conference on Data Mining 2012. The goal of this competition is to determine the state-of-the-art methods to automatically recognize product mentions in a collection of web documents, and to correctly identify the product(s) that each product mention refers to from a large catalog of products. Our approach combines methods of information retrieval and problem specific heuristics.
