We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 1st full-day workshop on Recommender Systems in Fashion (FashionXRecsys) that will be held on September 19th -20th, 2019 in Copenhagan, Denmark. 

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the fashion, recommendations and machine learning domains to discuss open problems in the aforementioned areas. This involves addressing interdisciplinary problems with all of the challenges it entails. Within this workshop we aim to start the conversation among professionals in the fashion and e-commerce industries and recommender systems scientists, and create a new space for collaboration between these communities necessary for tackling these deep problems. To provide rich opportunities to share opinions and experience in such an emerging field, we will accept paper submissions on established and novel ideas, as well as new interactive participation formats.

Suggested topics for submissions are (but not limited to):

• Computer vision in Fashion (image classification, semantic segmentation, object detection.)
• Deep learning in recommendation systems for Fashion.
• Learning and application of fashion style (personalized style, implicit and explicit preferences, budget, social behaviour, etc.)
• Size and Fit recommendations through mining customers implicit and explicit size and fit preferences.
• Modelling articles and brands size and fit similarity.
• Usage of ontologies and article metadata in fashion and retail (NLP, social mining, search.)
• Addressing cold-start problem both for items and users in fashion recommendation.
• Knowledge transfer in multi-domain fashion recommendation systems.
• Hybrid recommendations on customers’ history and on-line behavior.
• Multi- or Cross- domain recommendations (social media and online shops)
• Privacy preserving techniques for customer’s preferences tracing.
• Understanding social and psychological factors and impacts of influence on users’ fashion choices (such as Instagram, influencers, etc.)
