Description
Description
The Amazon Review Data (2018) dataset captures reviews and product metadata, including reviews (ratings, text, helpfulness votes), product metadata (descriptions, category information, price, brand, image features), and co-purchasing/co-viewing links. It includes anonymized reviewer IDs, product ASINs, review text, ratings, timestamps, and detailed product metadata (bullet-point descriptions, technical details, similar products), available as the complete dataset (233.1 million reviews, May 1996 – Oct 2018, spanning 29 product categories) or smaller subsets (5-core, ratings-only, per-category files).
