Abstract: An online system receives an identification code for a product from a third party, which includes attributes that the third party uses to identify the product. The online system normalizes the identification code according to a set of guidelines received from the third party. The normalized identification code resembles previous identification codes received from the third party. The online system identifies a cluster of identification codes that represents the product identified by the normalized identification code by applying a set of matching rules to the normalized identification code and updates the identified cluster of identification codes to include the normalized identification code. The online system identifies a universal product identifier that represents the product of the cluster of the cluster of identification codes and stores the universal product identifier with the updated cluster of identification code.

Abstract: A server receives a plurality of product data entries from a plurality of retailer computing systems. Each product data entry includes a product identifier uniquely identifying a corresponding physical product and descriptive data of the corresponding physical product. A subset of the plurality of product data entries having a same product identifier is determined. An embedding vector representative of a product data entry in the subset is pairwise compared with each of respective embedding vectors representative of other product data entries in the subset other than the product data entry to compute respective vector similarity metrics. A pooled semantic similarity metric for the product data entry based on the computed respective vector similarity metrics. It is determined whether the product data entry is an outlier in the subset based on the pooled semantic similarity metric. A notification is transmitted to a client device of a user based on the determination.
