Data-driven clustering for new garment forecasting
… particularly given the speed at which new garments are introduced. Traditionally, most garment defining features were only used by designers and buyers since the data was intractable for a computer: shape, color, fit, etc. By using natural language processing (NLP) techniques that preserve …
