Amazon Products Sample Dataset

A curated sample of 2,000 popular products from the Amazon Reviews 2023 dataset, designed for educational use in building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems and shopping agents.

Dataset Description

This dataset contains product metadata across 4 categories:

Electronics (500 products)
Video Games (500 products)
Books (500 products)
Home & Kitchen (500 products)

Products were filtered to include only those with 500+ reviews, ensuring recognizable, well-documented items.

Dataset Structure

Each product includes:

parent_asin: Unique product identifier
title: Product title
description: Product description (list of strings)
price: Listed price (string)
price_numeric: Price as float
average_rating: Average star rating (1-5)
rating_number: Number of reviews
features: Product features (list)
categories: Category hierarchy (list)
category: Simplified category label
store: Store/brand name
images: Product images (list of dicts)
main_category: Original main category

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("gatech-scheller-ai-in-business/amazon-products")
