Lev Manovich » Blog Archive » fashion shopping with machine learning and computer vision: "Boutiques uses computer vision and machine learning technology to visually analyze your taste and match it to items you would like.”
“First we partnered with taste-makers of all types. We asked them not just to curate 10-50 great items they loved, but also to teach our site their style and taste. They did this by telling us what colors, patterns, brands and silhouettes they loved and they hated. They took a visual quiz that taught the site to understand their style genre: Classic, Boho, Edgy, etc. Our machine learning algorithms use this information to enable you to shop all of the inventory in the style of that taste-maker, on top of the 50 items they’ve hand-curated.”
“We analyze the photograph of an item for its color, shape and pattern and try to help you find visually similar items.”"
