Large e-retailer image dataset for visual search and product classification

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Cdiscount, FranceAbstract Recent results of deep convolutional networks in visual recognition challenges open the path to a whole new set of disruptive user experiences such as visual search or recommendation. The list of companies offering this type of service is growing everyday but the adoption rate and the relevancy of results may vary a lot. We believe that the availability of large and diverse datasets is a necessary condition to improve the relevancy of such recommendation systems and facilitate their adoption. For that purpose, we wish to share with the community this dataset of more than 12M images of the 7M products of our online store classified into 5K categories. This original dataset is introduced in this article and several features are described. We also present some aspects of the winning solutions of our image classification challenge that was organized on the Kaggle platform around this set of images. 1 Introduction Recent advances in artificial intelligence and image recognition allow a whole new set of services to improve the Internet shopping experience [8, 20].


Reduce Fraud and False Positives with Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

Balancing user experience with strong transaction and login protection is a constant battle for financial institutions โ€“ one that can have tangible consequences for both bank and customer. Take, for example, User X. It's Cyber Monday, and User X wants to buy the latest smartphone on his favorite discount online store. The site has limited stock, so he logs in at 4am to ensure he'll be able to get a phone. He excitedly places the item in his cart, goes to check out, and clicks pay โ€“ only to receive a message that the purchase was flagged as suspicious and blocked.


Dynamic Yield Launches an AI-driven, Affinity-Based Personalization Platform

#artificialintelligence

New York: Dynamic Yield, the AI-Powered Personalization Anywhere platform, today announced the release of Affinity-Based Personalization โ€“ a new capability allowing brands to leverage automatically generated user affinity profiles to easily build a new class of user segments and deliver highly-targeted experiences across channels. While retailers track purchases, they've missed out on a trove of highly valuable information in the form of product and category browsing activity over the years. This structured data can be used for the creation of more relevant and individualized marketing campaigns, but instead, often goes completely unsaved. Dynamic Yield can now match a visitor's browsing activities with the attributes of the products they interact with, leveraging the data to build a unique affinity profile for each individual in real-time. In turn, this allows for the automated creation of new and sophisticated user segments that can be utilized across all channels, including web, mobile, app, email, as well as sent to external third party platforms like DMPs, BI tools, DSPs and more.

The Quiet Robot Revolution That Can Unlock A Trillion Dollars In Retail Efficiency: Meet Tally

#artificialintelligence

Walk into the Decathlon sporting goods store on Market Street in San Francisco and you will find yourself face to face with Tally. She is tall and slender, and has a winning smile--she smiles with her eyes. She is gentle and considerate: if you get in her way, she will quietly glide around you without complaining. She is extremely intelligent and highly efficient: as she moves up and down the aisles, she takes a real-time inventory of the products on the shelves and racks, checking which products are running low or out of stock, and whether they are labeled with the correct price. She can read RFID tags, but she can also use AI-powered image recognition to distinguish different products at a glance.

Amazon.com Inc. has adjusted its product-search system to more prominently feature listings that are more profitable for the company, said people who worked on the project--a move, contested internally, that could favor Amazon's own brands. Late last year, these people said, Amazon optimized the secret algorithm that ranks listings so that instead of showing customers mainly the most-relevant and best-selling listings when they search--as it had for more than a decade--the site also gives a boost to items that are more profitable...
