We present three approaches to generate titles for browse pages in five different languages, namely English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. These browse pages are structured search pages in an e-commerce domain. We first present a rule-based approach to generate these browse page titles. In addition, we also present a hybrid approach which uses a phrase-based statistical machine translation engine on top of the rule-based system to assemble the best title. For the two languages English and German, we have access to a large amount of rule-based generated and human-curated titles. For these languages, we present an automatic post-editing approach which learns how to post-edit the rule-based titles into curated titles.
Prior work on title generation for e-commerce focused on browse pages and has only explored a hybrid approach combining rule-based and statistical machine translation models REF .
