FashionBrain (website)

FashionBrain is an EU H2020 project (GA: 732328) that aims at combining data from different sources to support different fashion industry players by predicting upcoming fashion trends from social media as well as by providing personalised recommendations and advanced fashion item search to customers. Human computation is fundamental for gathering and combining the sheer amount of data generated by different fashion industry multisectorial players, starting from manufacturers and distribution networks, to online shops, large retailers, and value-added services companies (e.g., social media analysis, market observers, call centers, press/magazines etc). A human-in-the loop approach allows the gathered data to be curated, analyzed and used as input for machines learning algorithms.
