Amazon Products (Japanese)

This challenge requires extracting product category from product description. The data is taken from Japanese amazon and consists of over 8000 product offers. It was scraped using a simple Python bot. Most of the product descriptions contain the category as a substring somewhere in the text (or alternatively some synonym of the category). There is also no predefined set of all possible categories. Hence this task is NOT about sequence classification.
