Since the IBV 2012 study, the cloud technology has

become much more mainstream

1IBV report: “The Power of Cloud - Driving Business Model Innovation”, 2012. Link: https://ibm.biz/Bd4uzw

Today, 78% says cloud initiatives

are coordinated or fully integrated

In 2012, only 34% said they had

a solid plan in adopting cloud1

DeepFashion: In-shop Clothes Retrieval

Details

In-shop Clothes Retrieval

Benchmark evaluates the performance of in-

shop Clothes Retrievel. This is a large subset of

DeepFashion, containing large pose and scale

variations. It also has large diversities, large

quantities, and rich annotations, including

• 7,982 number of clothing items;

• 52,712 number of in-shop clothes images,

and ~200,000 cross-pose/scale pairs;

• Each image is annotated by bounding

box, clothing type and pose type.
