The RecSys Challenge 2022 will be organized by Dressipi, Bruce Ferwerda (Jönköping University, Sweden), Saikishore Kalloori (ETH Zürich, Switzerland), and Abhishek Srivastava (IIM Jammu, India).
Dressipi are the fashion-AI experts, providing product and outfit recommendations to leading global retailers.
Our recommendations enable retailers to create new product discovery experiences that are personalized and inspiring and can be used at all steps of the shopper journey.
Our algorithms enable retailers to make better buying and merchandising decisions by more accurately forecasting product demand and size ratios.
Our focus is to provide the world’s best apparel recommendations and predictions. We do this by taking a domain specific approach across the data we collect and create, how we structure that data and the models we build. Everything we do is optimized to handle the nuances of fashion.
We work with brands across the US, UK, Europe, and Australia and outperform every competitor when A/B tested.
This year’s challenge focuses on fashion recommendations. When given user sessions, purchase data and content data about items, can you accurately predict which fashion item will be bought at the end of the session?
The content data consists of descriptive labels of the items (such as color, length, neckline, sleeve style, etc.). The labels have been assigned using Dressipi’s human-in-the-loop system where fashion experts review, correct and confirm the correctness of the labels, so we expect this to be a dataset of high accuracy and quality.
It’s important to be able to make recommendations that respond to what the user is doing during the current session to create the best experience possible that results in a purchase. Nuances of the fashion domain make accurate in-session predictions more critical than in other domains:
As part of this challenge, Dressipi will be releasing a public dataset of 1.1 million online retail sessions that resulted in a purchase. In addition, all items in the dataset have been labeled with content data and the labels are supplied. We refer to the label data as item features. The dataset is sampled and anonymized.
The image below is an illustration of what the content data could look like for a given dress (this is a made-up example). In the dataset the label data has been anonymised by using ids: you will not get the cleartext labels like “neckline: v-neck” but rather ids representing the same data.

Accepted contributions will be presented during the RecSys Challenge Workshop in 2022.
