Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a plurality of candidate offers that are likely associated with a product being offered for sale. Each candidate offer is associated with a common set of attributes, wherein at least one of the attributes in the common set uniquely identifies the product being offered for sale. The method further includes, for each attribute value of each candidate offer, scoring the attribute value based on an aggregate number of times that the attribute value is found across corresponding attributes of other candidate offers in the plurality, and adding the scores for a first pair of attributes to determine a cumulative score for the candidate offer. One of the attributes in the first pair is the at least one attribute that uniquely identifies the product. The method still further includes updating a set of normalized attribute values for the product to include the attribute values for the first pair of attributes from a highest scoring candidate offer.
