Dataset Summary
Many e-shops have started to mark-up product data within their HTML pages using the schema.org vocabulary. The Web Data Commons project regularly extracts such data from the Common Crawl, a large public web crawl. The Web Data Commons Training and Test Sets for Large-Scale Product Matching contain product offers from different e-shops in the form of binary product pairs (with corresponding label "match" or "no match")
In order to support the evaluation of machine learning-based matching methods, the data is split into training, validation and test set. We provide training and validation sets in four different sizes for four product categories. The labels of the test sets were manually checked while those of the training sets were derived using shared product identifiers from the Web via weak supervision.
The data stems from the WDC Product Data Corpus for Large-Scale Product Matching - Version 2.0 which consists of 26 million product offers originating from 79 thousand websites.

Dataset Structure
Data Instances
The data is structured as pairs of product offers with the corresponding match/non-match label. This is an example instance from the computers category:
