Deep Bidirectional Cross-Triplet Embedding for Online Clothing Shopping

Deep Bidirectional Cross-Triplet Embedding for Online Clothing Shopping In this article, we address the cross-domain (i.e., street and shop) clothing retrieval problem and investigate its real-world applications for online clothing shopping. It is a challenging problem due to the large discrepancy between street and shop domain images. We focus on learning an effective feature-embedding model to generate robust and discriminative feature representation across domains. Existing triplet embedding models achieve promising results by finding an embedding metric in which the distance between negative pairs is larger than the distance between positive pairs plus a margin. However, existing methods do not address the challenges in the cross-domain clothing retrieval scenario sufficiently. First, the intradomain and cross-domain data relationships need to be considered simultaneously. Second, the number of matched and nonmatched cross-domain pairs are unbalanced. To address these challenges, we propose a deep cross-triplet embedding algorithm together with a cross-triplet sampling strategy. The extensive experimental evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms well. Furthermore, we investigate two novel online shopping applications, clothing trying on and accessories recommendation, based on a unified cross-domain clothing retrieval framework. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications (TOMM) Association for Computing Machinery

Abstract

In this article, we address the cross-domain (i.e., street and shop) clothing retrieval problem and investigate its real-world applications for online clothing shopping. It is a challenging problem due to the large discrepancy between street and shop domain images. We focus on learning an effective feature-embedding model to generate robust and discriminative feature representation across domains. Existing triplet embedding models achieve promising results by finding an embedding metric in which the distance between negative pairs is larger than the distance between positive pairs plus a margin. However, existing methods do not address the challenges in the cross-domain clothing retrieval scenario sufficiently. First, the intradomain and cross-domain data relationships need to be considered simultaneously. Second, the number of matched and nonmatched cross-domain pairs are unbalanced. To address these challenges, we propose a deep cross-triplet embedding algorithm together with a cross-triplet sampling strategy. The extensive experimental evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms well. Furthermore, we investigate two novel online shopping applications, clothing trying on and accessories recommendation, based on a unified cross-domain clothing retrieval framework.
