Visually-Aware Fashion Recommendation

Visual Depiction of a simple use-case present in the dataset

The work is divided into three main components:

  1. Carry out Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) on the Amazon Fashion dataset by plotting several graphs and plots that showcase different aspects of the datasets.
  2. Use a simple Matrix Factorization-based Latent Factor Model to generate baseline results.
  3. Build a Visually-Aware Fashion Recommender System by employing Siamese Convolutional Network to jointly train the image representation of the fashion apparel and the recommender system. Bayesian Personalized Ranking is used to obtain a ranked list of items for each user. The visually-aware model achieves an AUC score of 0.7112, increasing the baseline score by 0.18.
