  • Patent number: 11823059
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fashion recommendation system that employs a task-guided learning framework to jointly train a visually-aware personalized preference ranking network. In addition, the fashion recommendation system employs implicit feedback and generated user-based triplets to learn variances in the user's fashion preferences for items with which the user has not yet interacted. In particular, the fashion recommendation system uses triplets generated from implicit user data to jointly train a Siamese convolutional neural network and a personalized ranking model, which together produce a user preference predictor that determines personalized fashion recommendations for a user.

  • Patent number: 11694248
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a personalized fashion generation system that synthesizes user-customized images using deep learning techniques based on visually-aware user preferences. In particular, the personalized fashion generation system employs an image generative adversarial neural network and a personalized preference network to synthesize new fashion items that are individually customized for a user. Additionally, the personalized fashion generation system can modify existing fashion items to tailor the fashion items to a user's tastes and preferences.

  • Patent number: 9355337
    Abstract: Classification of image regions comprises: recursively partitioning an image into a tree of image regions having the image as a tree root and at least one image patch in each leaf image region of the tree, the tree having nodes defined by the image regions and edges defined by pairs of nodes connected by edges of the tree; assigning unary classification potentials to nodes of the tree; assigning pairwise classification potentials to edges of the tree; and labeling the image regions of the tree of image regions based on optimizing an objective function comprising an aggregation of the unary classification potentials and the pairwise classification potentials.

  • Patent number: 8407029
    Abstract: A first graph embedded in a Euclidean space is modeled by a globally rigid first model graph that includes all vertices and edges of the first graph and has a preselected maximum clique size. The modeling is configured to maintain the preselected maximum clique size by employing an edge adding process that replicates a vertex of a vertex pair connected by an edge. A mapping between vertices of the first graph and vertices of a second graph is computed by optimizing a mapping between vertices of the first model graph and vertices of the second graph.
