Abstract:

Extracting knowledge and actionable insights from fashion
data still presents challenges due to the intrinsic subjectivity needed to e ffectively model the domain. Fashion ontologies help address this, but most existing such ontologies are
\clothing" ontologies, which consider only the physical at-
tributes of garments or people and often model subjective
judgements only as opaque categorizations of entities. We
address this by proposing a supplementary ontological approach in the fashion domain based on subjective influence
networks. We enumerate a set of use cases this approach is
intended to address and discuss possible classes of prediction
questions and machine learning experiments that could be
executed to validate or refute the model.
