Deep Learning Image Classification for Fashion Design

Abstract

Fashion has always been an essential feature in our daily routine. It also plays a significant role in everyone’s lives. In this research, convolutional neural networks (CNN) were used to train images of different fashion styles, which were attempted to be predicted with a high success rate. Deep learning has been widely applied in a variety of fields recently. A CNN is a deep neural network that delivers the most accurate answers when tackling real‐world situations. Apparel manufacturers have employed CNN to tackle various difficulties on their e‐commerce sites, including clothing recognition, search, and suggestion. A set of photos from the Fashion‐MNIST dataset is used to train a series of CNN‐based deep learning architectures to distinguish between photographs. CNN design, batch normalization, and residual skip connections reduce the time it takes to learn. The CNN model’s findings are evaluated using the Fashion‐MNIST datasets. In this paper, classification is done with a convolutional layer, filter size, and ultimately connected layers. Experiments are run with different activation functions, optimizers, learning rates, dropout rates, and batch sizes. The results showed that the choice of activation function, optimizer, and dropout rate impacts the correctness of the results.
