Abstract:

Today, the impact of deep learning in computer vision applications is growing every day. Deep learning techniques apply in many areas such as clothing search, automatic product recommendation. The main task in these applications is to perform the classification process automatically. But, high similarities between multiple apparel objects make classification difficult. In this paper, a new deep learning model based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is proposed to solve the classification problem. These networks can extract features from images using convolutional layers, unlike traditional machine learning algorithms. As the extracted features are highly discriminative, good results can be obtained in terms of classification performance. Performance results vary according to the number of filters and window sizes in the convolution layers that extract the features. Considering that there is more than one parameter that influences the performance result, the parameter that gives the best result can be determined after many experimental studies. The specified parameterization process is a difficult and laborious process. To address this issue, the parameters of a newly proposed CNN-based deep learning model were optimized using the Keras Tuner tool on the Fashion MNIST (F-MNIST) dataset containing multi-class fashion images. The performance results of the model were obtained using the data separated according to the cross-validation technique 5. At the same time, to measure the impact of the optimized parameters on classification, the performance results of the proposed model, called CNNTuner, are compared with state-of-the-art (SOTA) studies.
