+# 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.
