Building framework recommendation system for Trendy Fashion E-Commerce
based on deep learning with top-K
Abstract
In recent times, e-commerce has become a vital component of our
purchasing habits. Central to this evolution is the recommendation
system, an advanced algorithm designed to personalize the shopping
experience and significantly boost consumer demand. The fashion
industry, with its diverse and ever-changing inventory, benefits
immensely from these algorithms, making it a fascinating case study for
understanding the broader impacts of technology on consumerism.
Traditional fashion recommendation systems are fundamentally based on
item compatibility, but keeping up with trends is also essential. To
address this, we propose a two-stage system: first, fashion detection,
then outfit suggestions based on the identified items. Users receive
images of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) or influencers wearing similar
outfits. These recommendations ensure item compatibility, offer diverse
styles, and remain fashionable. At the outset, we experimented with
YOLOv8 to select the best version. Next, we implemented fashion image
retrieval based on feature extraction using two pre-trained network. To
enhance reliability, we developed a voting and ranking algorithm. Our
experiments, conducted on a self-collected dataset, evaluated the
system’s effectiveness in detecting fashion objects and the efficiency
of content-based image retrieval.
