Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for item classification using customer-visible attributes are disclosed. A plurality of terms are determined that describe a plurality of items in a marketplace. Individual ones of the items are classified in a hierarchical taxonomy comprising a plurality of classifications, and individual ones of the terms correspond to individual ones of the classifications. A description of a new item is received. The description of the new item comprises a plurality of customer-visible terms. One or more of the plurality of classifications in the hierarchical taxonomy are selected for the new item. The one or more classifications are selected for the new item based at least in part on automated matching of individual ones of the customer-visible terms to individual ones of the terms that correspond to individual ones of the classifications.
