In this paper, we present our approach for the ’Multimodal Product Classification’ task as a part of the 2020 SIGIR Workshop On eCommerce (ECOM20). The specific objective of this task is to build and submit systems that classify previously unseen products into their corresponding product type codes. We propose a deep Multi-Modal Multi-level Boosted Fusion Learning Framework used to categorize large-scale multi-modal (text and image) product data into product type codes. Our proposed final methodology achieved a macro F1- score of 91.94 on the phase 1 test dataset which is the top-scoring submission and third position on the scoreboard for phase 2 test dataset with macro F1-score of 90.53.
