Session Outline

As a 168 years long history company, in order to remove the majority of manual efforts to collect trends, information, and data, we would like to demonstrate how Levis identified the most trendy fits, fabrics, and colors for a selected season using AI Machine Learning solutions (Nature Language Processing and Computer Vision) on top of fashion data (texts and images) in one and a half days Hackathon.

Key Takeaways

  •  what is a cutting-edge fashion forecast solution in the fashion industry?
  •  how do NLP on text and CV on images help each other for fashion forecast?
  •  how a traditional retail company fast digitize as a data-driven AI-leading fashion company?

I was born in Salamanca, Spain, and I have a sister. I went to Bristol, UK, for my year-abroad during university. After two years there, I moved to Barcelona, Spain, where I did a PhD on Experimental Particle Physics. After that, I joined the private sector and I have worked in a few companies, working in very different businesses. I really like Big Data and the idea of extracting as much information and insight as possible since I think it helps understanding the world we live in and it can provide better experiences for everyone for different aspects in life.
