Fashion discounters face the problem of ordering the right amount of pieces in each size of a product. The product is ordered in pre-packs containing a certain size-mix of a product. For this so-called lot-type design problem, a stochastic…
"Encoded in the large, highly evolved sensory and motor portions of the human brain is a billion years of experience about the nature of the world and how to survive in it. The deliberate process we call reasoning is, I believe, the…
It is well-established that increased product visibility to shoppers leads to higher sales for retailers. In this study, we propose an optimization methodology which assigns product categories and subcategories to store locations and…
Fashion-focused artificial intelligence has rapidly advanced in recent years, driven by deep learning and its deployment in recommender systems, detection, retrieval, and analytics. Yet several consumer-facing domains remain comparatively…
Fashion recommendation systems are highly desired by customers to find visually-collocated fashion items, such as clothes, shoes, bags, etc. While existing methods demonstrate promising results, they remain lacking in flexibility and…
This note extends Restrepo (2025)'s model of economic growth under AGI by incorporating Moravec's Paradox -the observation that tasks requiring sensorimotor skills remain computationally expensive relative to cognitive tasks. We partition…
Fashion merchandising is one of the most complicated problems in forecasting, given the transient nature of trends in colours, prints, cuts, patterns, and materials in fashion, the economies of scale achievable only in bulk production, as…
Recent advances in Computer Vision have significantly improved image understanding and generation, revolutionizing the fashion industry. However, challenges such as inconsistent lighting, non-ideal garment angles, complex backgrounds, and…
Atmospheric visibility is a critical variable for transportation safety and air quality management, however, accurate prediction remains challenging due to the complex interactions between meteorological conditions and air pollutants, as…
We consider a fundamental generalization of the classical newsvendor problem where the seller needs to decide on the inventory of a product jointly for multiple locations on a metric as well as a fulfillment policy to satisfy the uncertain…
Visual abstract reasoning problems pose significant challenges to the perception and cognition abilities of artificial intelligence algorithms, demanding deeper pattern recognition and inductive reasoning beyond mere identification of…
AI applications are becoming increasingly visible to the general public. There is a notable gap between the theoretical assumptions researchers make about computer vision models and the reality those models face when deployed in the real…
There has been a surge in the number of Machine Learning methods to analyze products kept on retail shelves images. Deep learning based computer vision methods can be used to detect products on retail shelves and then classify them.…
The fusion of AI and fashion design has emerged as a promising research area. However, the lack of extensive, interrelated data on clothing and try-on stages has hindered the full potential of AI in this domain. Addressing this, we present…
Finding the optimal (revenue-maximizing) mechanism to sell multiple items has been a prominent and notoriously difficult open problem. Existing work has mainly focused on deriving analytical results tailored to a particular class of…
Aesthetics drives product differentiation in industries such as fashion, interior decor, luxury goods, real estate and hospitality. However, visual differentiation is hard to encode in formal economic analysis. This paper analyses millions…
Searching for objects amongst clutter is a key ability of visual systems. Speed and accuracy are often crucial: how can the visual system trade off these competing quantities for optimal performance in different tasks? How does the…
Real-time visual analysis tasks, like tracking and recognition, require swift execution of computationally intensive algorithms. Visual sensor networks can be enabled to perform such tasks by augmenting the sensor network with processing…
In this paper, we describe a novel solution to compute optimal warehouse allocations for fashion inventory. Procured inventory must be optimally allocated to warehouses in proportion to the regional demand around the warehouse. This will…
Learning the compatibility between fashion items across categories is a key task in fashion analysis, which can decode the secret of clothing matching. The main idea of this task is to map items into a latent style space where compatible…
