  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTI-MODAL TRANSFORMER-BASED CATAGORIZATION
    Publication number: 20230044152
    Abstract: A transformer categorization architecture is applied to image and text data sets to determine a taxonomy for items in a large database of products. Aggregating recommendations from a multi-modal categorization process achieves a more accurate product classification with potentially less training. The system is implemented to support an e-commerce portal and user facilitated access to products for online purchases.
