STaRK-Amazon

STaRK-Amazon focuses on product recommendation. The dataset emphasizes customer-centric factors like product quality, functionality, and style and incorporates single-hop relational data involving brands, categories, and products in complementary or substitute relationships. Queries are presented in a conversational style, making the data more relevant to practical scenarios.

Semi-structured Knowledge Base

The Amazon SKB includes four entity types (product, brand, color, and category) and five relationship types (also_bought and also_viewed between products, and has_brand, has_color, and has_category linked to products).
The textual information for products is comprehensive, featuring descriptions, customer reviews, and Q&A, while other entities have their names or titles as textual attributes.
