Automated Fashion Size Normalization

The ability to accurately predict the fit of fashion items and recommend the correct size is key to reducing merchandise returns in e-commerce. A critical prerequisite of fit prediction is size normalization, the mapping of product sizes across brands to a common space in which sizes can be compared.

The size mappings generated from our automated approaches are comparable to human-generated mappings
