+# 💰 Amazon Product Price Prediction Dataset
+
+## Dataset Summary
+
+This dataset is a carefully curated subset of the [McAuley-Lab/Amazon-Reviews-2023](https://huggingface.co/datasets/McAuley-Lab/Amazon-Reviews-2023) dataset, specifically engineered for training Large Language Models (LLMs) to **predict product prices from product descriptions**. The dataset focuses on 8 major retail categories commonly found in home improvement and electronics stores.
+
+**🎯 Primary Use Case**: Fine-tuning LLMs to estimate product prices based on product titles and descriptions.
+
+**✨ Key Features**:
+- Balanced price distribution (reduced low-price bias)
+- Optimized for LLaMA tokenization (single tokens for prices 1-999)
+- Professional data curation with stratified sampling
+- Ready-to-use prompts for immediate fine-tuning
+
+## 📊 Dataset Statistics
+
+| **Metric** | **Value** |
+|------------|-----------|
+| **Total Samples** | 402,000 |
+| **Training Split** | 400,000 samples |
+| **Test Split** | 2,000 samples |
+| **Price Range** | $0.50 - $999.49 |
+| **Average Price** | ~$60+ (balanced distribution) |
+| **Average Token Count** | ~150 tokens per prompt |
+| **Categories** | 8 major retail categories |
+| **Format** | Instruction-following prompts |
+
+## 🏪 Product Categories
+
+The dataset includes products from these carefully selected categories:
+
+| **Category** | **Description** | **Approx. Distribution** |
+|--------------|-----------------|--------------------------|
+| 🚗 **Automotive** | Car parts, accessories, maintenance tools | ~25% |

+
+## 🔧 Data Curation Process
+
+### **1. Intelligent Price Distribution Balancing**
+- **Problem**: Original Amazon data heavily skewed toward cheap items (<$20)
+- **Solution**: Implemented price-bucket stratified sampling
+- **Method**: 
+  - Prices ≥$240: Take all items (rare, valuable data)
+  - Prices with ≤1200 items: Include all
+  - High-frequency prices: Sample 1200 items with category weighting
+- **Result**: Balanced distribution with meaningful price spread
+
+### **2. Category Balancing**
+- Applied weighted sampling to reduce automotive dominance
+- **Automotive weight**: 1x (controlled representation)
+- **Other categories weight**: 5x (increased representation)
+- **Goal**: More balanced category distribution for better generalization
+
+### **3. Quality Assurance**
+- Filtered products with valid price information ($0.50 - $999.49)
+- Excluded items with insufficient descriptions (<300 characters)
+- Ensured consistent prompt formatting
+- Validated price parsing accuracy
+
+### **4. Tokenization Optimization**
+- Optimized for LLaMA tokenizer (numbers 1-999 as single tokens)
+- Efficient token usage for faster training
+- Consistent numerical representation
+
+## 📝 Data Format
+
+### **Training Examples**
+```
+Estimate the price of this item:
+
+[PRODUCT TITLE]
+
+Details: [DETAILED PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES]
+
+Price: $[ACTUAL_PRICE]
+```
+
+### **Test Examples** 
+```
+Estimate the price of this item:
+
+[PRODUCT TITLE]
+
+Details: [DETAILED PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES]
+
+The price of this item is: $
+```
+
+### **Schema**
+```python
+{
+    "text": str,    # Complete formatted prompt with product description
+    "price": float  # Target price in USD (0.50 - 999.49)
+}
+```
+
+### **Example Entry**
+```python
+{
+    "text": "Estimate the price of this item:\n\nWireless Bluetooth Headphones with Noise Cancellation\n\nDetails: Premium over-ear headphones featuring active noise cancellation technology, 30-hour battery life, premium leather padding, and crystal-clear audio quality. Compatible with all Bluetooth devices.\n\nPrice: $",
+    "price": 89.99
+}
+```
+
+## 🎯 Intended Use

+### **Primary Applications**
+- **E-commerce Price Prediction**: Automated pricing for new products
+- **Market Research**: Price analysis and competitive intelligence
+- **Retail Optimization**: Dynamic pricing strategies
+- **LLM Fine-tuning**: Training models for price estimation tasks
+
+### **Model Compatibility**
+- **Optimized for**: LLaMA family models (efficient number tokenization)
+- **Compatible with**: GPT, Claude, Qwen, Gemma, Phi3, and other instruction-tuned models
+- **Recommended**: 7B+ parameter models for best performance
+
+### **Use Case Examples**
+- E-commerce platforms estimating prices for new product listings
+- Market analysis tools for competitive pricing
+- Retail decision support systems
+- Research on LLM numerical reasoning capabilities
+
+## ⚠️ Limitations and Considerations
+
+### **Data Limitations**
+- **Geographic scope**: Primarily US Amazon marketplace (2023 data)
+- **Category coverage**: Limited to 8 retail categories
+- **Price ceiling**: Capped at $999.49 (excludes luxury/enterprise products)
+- **Temporal snapshot**: Prices reflect 2023 market conditions
+
+### **Model Considerations**
+- **Training requirements**: Requires significant computational resources for fine-tuning
+- **Evaluation necessity**: Model outputs should be validated against current market data
+- **Context dependency**: Accuracy depends on complete and accurate product descriptions
+
+### **Ethical Considerations**
+- **Commercial sensitivity**: Price predictions should not be used for anti-competitive practices
+- **Market fairness**: Should not contribute to price manipulation or unfair pricing
+- **Privacy**: All data sourced from publicly available Amazon product listings
