While there are numerous image-based recommender approaches that utilize dedicated deep neural networks, comparisons to attribute-aware models are often disregarded despite their ability to be easily extended to leverage items' image features. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective attribute-aware model that incorporates image features for better item representation learning in item recommendation tasks. The proposed model utilizes items' image features extracted by a calibrated ResNet50 component. We present an ablation study to compare incorporating the image features using three different techniques into the recommender system component that can seamlessly leverage any available items' attributes. Experiments on two image-based real-world recommender systems datasets show that the proposed model significantly outperforms all state-of-the-art image-based models.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.02923v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.02923v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"end-to-end-image-based-fashion-recommendation","repo_url":"https://github.com/shereen-elsayed/imgrec","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"attribute","task_name":"Attribute"},{"task_slug":"recommendation-systems","task_name":"Recommendation Systems"},{"task_slug":"representation-learning","task_name":"Representation Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
