Add to EdgeBeautifAI -- A Personalised Occasion-oriented Makeup Recommendation System
Sep 13, 2021
With the global metamorphosis of the beauty industry and the rising demand for beauty products worldwide, the need for an efficacious makeup recommendation system has never been more. Despite the significant advancements made towards personalised makeup recommendation, the current research still falls short of incorporating the context of occasion in makeup recommendation and integrating feedback for users. In this work, we propose BeautifAI, a novel makeup recommendation system, delivering personalised occasion-oriented makeup recommendations to users while providing real-time previews and continuous feedback. The proposed work's novel contributions, including the incorporation of occasion context, region-wise makeup recommendation, real-time makeup previews and continuous makeup feedback, set our system apart from the current work in makeup recommendation. We also demonstrate our proposed system's efficacy in providing personalised makeup recommendation by conducting a user study.
Addressing the Cold-Start Problem in Outfit Recommendation Using Visual Preference Modelling
Aug 04, 2020
With the global transformation of the fashion industry and a rise in the demand for fashion items worldwide, the need for an effectual fashion recommendation has never been more. Despite various cutting-edge solutions proposed in the past for personalising fashion recommendation, the technology is still limited by its poor performance on new entities, i.e. the cold-start problem. In this paper, we attempt to address the cold-start problem for new users, by leveraging a novel visual preference modelling approach on a small set of input images. We demonstrate the use of our approach with feature-weighted clustering to personalise occasion-oriented outfit recommendation. Quantitatively, our results show that the proposed visual preference modelling approach outperforms state of the art in terms of clothing attribute prediction. Qualitatively, through a pilot study, we demonstrate the efficacy of our system to provide diverse and personalised recommendations in cold-start scenarios.
