Product category prediction model built with:
and trained using Amazon product data.
This library supports
- Predicting categories using the pretrained model.
- Training from scratch, with a transformers model as the starting point.
- Transfer learning from the pretrained model.
The pretrained model is trained using product category and title in the metadata Amazon product data. Each product can have multiple categories.
We sample 500K products (85% for train; 15% for validation) to train the model, which resulted in ~1900 categories.
We use pytorch-lightning to train a multilabel classification model with the pretrained distilbert-base-cased model from huggingface/transformers as the starting point.
This library supports
- directly using this pretrained model to predict the ~1900 categories from an input product title or description;
- using this pretrained model as a starting point to do transfer learning and train a category prediction model on your own categories, as long as you provide training data in the format described below.
You can also train a model from scratch without using this pretrained model, but instead with a transformers model as the starting point.

--model_name_or_path MODEL_NAME_OR_PATH
Path to pretrained model or model identifier from
huggingface.co/models.
--transfer_learn Wether to use transfer learning based on a pretrained
model.
--trained_model_path TRAINED_MODEL_PATH
Model used to predict.
--data_file_path DATA_FILE_PATH

--freeze_bert Whether to freeze the pretrained model.
--max_seq_length MAX_SEQ_LENGTH
The maximum total input sequence length after
tokenization. Sequences longer than this will be
truncated, sequences shorter will be padded.
--min_products_for_category MIN_PRODUCTS_FOR_CATEGORY
Minimum number of products for a category to be
considered in the model.
--train_batch_size TRAIN_BATCH_SIZE

dataloader.
--val_batch_size VAL_BATCH_SIZE
How many samples per batch to load for validation
dataloader.
--dataloader_num_workers DATALOADER_NUM_WORKERS
How many subprocesses to use for data loading. 0 means
that the data will be loaded in the main process.
--pin_memory Wether to use pin_memory in pytorch dataloader. If
True, the data loader will copy Tensors into CUDA
pinned memory before returning them.
--learning_rate LEARNING_RATE
Learning Rate
Training from scratch, with a transformers model as the starting point.
For example:
python train.py --data_file_path ../data/sample_data.csv
Transfer learning from the pretrained model.
For example:
python train.py --transfer_learn --data_file_path ../data/sample_data.csv
To run with GPU:
python train.py --transfer_learn --data_file_path ../data/sample_data.csv --gpus=1
To train only a classification head with the transformer backbone frozen:
python train.py --transfer_learn --data_file_path ../data/sample_data.csv --freeze_bert
To run with GPU, pin_memory for dataloader, and limiting maximum training epochs:
python train.py --transfer_learn --data_file_path ../data/sample_data.csv --gpus=1 --pin_memory --max_epochs=100
The pretrained model is trained using Amazon product data, which is for research purpose. Therefore, the pretrained model should also be used for research purposes.
