TransNFCM: Translation-Based Neural Fashion Compatibility Modeling
Identifying mix-and-match relationships between fashion items is an urgent
task in a fashion e-commerce recommender system. It will significantly enhance
user experience and satisfaction. However, due to the challenges of inferring
the rich yet complicated set of compatibility patterns in a large e-commerce
corpus of fashion items, this task is still underexplored. Inspired by the
recent advances in multi-relational knowledge representation learning and deep
neural networks, this paper proposes a novel Translation-based Neural Fashion
Compatibility Modeling (TransNFCM) framework, which jointly optimizes fashion
item embeddings and category-specific complementary relations in a unified
space via an end-to-end learning manner. TransNFCM places items in a unified
embedding space where a category-specific relation (category-comp-category) is
modeled as a vector translation operating on the embeddings of compatible items
from the corresponding categories. By this way, we not only capture the
specific notion of compatibility conditioned on a specific pair of
complementary categories, but also preserve the global notion of compatibility.
We also design a deep fashion item encoder which exploits the complementary
characteristic of visual and textual features to represent the fashion
products. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that uses
category-specific complementary relations to model the category-aware
compatibility between items in a translation-based embedding space. Extensive
experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of TransNFCM over the
state-of-the-arts on two real-world datasets.Comment: Accepted in AAAI 2019 conferenc
Learning and Transferring IDs Representation in E-commerce
Many machine intelligence techniques are developed in E-commerce and one of
the most essential components is the representation of IDs, including user ID,
item ID, product ID, store ID, brand ID, category ID etc. The classical
encoding based methods (like one-hot encoding) are inefficient in that it
suffers sparsity problems due to its high dimension, and it cannot reflect the
relationships among IDs, either homogeneous or heterogeneous ones. In this
paper, we propose an embedding based framework to learn and transfer the
representation of IDs. As the implicit feedbacks of users, a tremendous amount
of item ID sequences can be easily collected from the interactive sessions. By
jointly using these informative sequences and the structural connections among
IDs, all types of IDs can be embedded into one low-dimensional semantic space.
Subsequently, the learned representations are utilized and transferred in four
scenarios: (i) measuring the similarity between items, (ii) transferring from
seen items to unseen items, (iii) transferring across different domains, (iv)
transferring across different tasks. We deploy and evaluate the proposed
approach in Hema App and the results validate its effectiveness.Comment: KDD'18, 9 page
