CVPR 2022 Workshop on Computer Vision for Fashion, Art, and Design2022Predicting outfit compatibility and retrieving complementary items are critical components for a fashion recommendation system. We present a scalable framework, OutfitTransformer, that learns compatibility of the entire outfit and supports large-scale complementary item retrieval. We model outfits as an unordered set of items and leverage self-attention mechanism to learn the relationships between items

SIGDIAL 20222022Embodied agents need to be able to interact in natural language-understanding task descriptions and asking appropriate follow up questions to obtain necessary information to be effective at successfully accomplishing tasks for a wide range of users. In this work, we propose a set of dialog acts for modelling such dialogs and annotate the TEACh dataset that includes over 3,000 situated, task oriented conversations

AMTA 20222022Multilingual query localization is integral to modern e-commerce. While machine translation is widely used to translate e-commerce queries, evaluation of query translation in the context of the down-stream search task is overlooked. This study proposes a search ranking-based evaluation framework with an edit-distance based search metric to evaluate machine translation impact on cross-lingual information
-
AMTA 20222022Multilingual search is indispensable for a seamless e-commerce experience. E-commerce search engines typically support multilingual search by cascading a machine translation step before searching the index in its primary language. In practice, search query translation usually involves a translation memory matching step before machine translation. A translation memory (TM) can (i) effectively enforce terminologies
-
IEEE ICIP 20222022Videos often have to be transmitted and stored at low bitrates due to poor network connectivity during adaptive bitrate streaming. Designing optimal bitrate ladders that would select the perceptually-optimized resolution, frame-rate, and compression level for low-bitrate videos for adaptive streaming across the internet is therefore a task of great interest. Towards that end, we conducted the first large-scale
