Street-to-Shop fashion item retrieval is an instance-level image retrieval task in which a photo from a user is used to query a fashion image database in order to retrieve either the same or similar fashion items. This task is particularly challenging due to the domain shift between database photos, which tend to be stages, professional shots, and consumer photos that have a much greater variety in terms of quality, pose, etc. To reduce the problem difficulty, state-of-the-art approaches train one retrieval model per domain or fashion item category. In this work we propose a single detect-then-retrieve model that can be applied to any (query or database) image and which outperforms methods using domain or category-specific retrieval models by significant margins on the Exact Street2Shop benchmark dataset.

To make robots autonomous in real-world everyday spaces, they should be able to learn from their interactions within these spaces, how to best execute tasks specified by non-expert users in a safe and reliable way. To do so requires sequential decision-making skills that combine machine learning, adaptive planning and control in uncertain environments as well as solving hard combinatorial optimisation problems. Our research combines expertise in reinforcement learning, computer vision, robotic control, sim2real transfer, large multimodal foundation models and neural combinatorial optimisation to build AI-based architectures and algorithms to improve robot autonomy and robustness when completing everyday complex tasks in constantly changing environments.
VISION
The research we conduct on expressive visual representations is applicable to visual search, object detection, image classification and the automatic extraction of 3D human poses and shapes that can be used for human behavior understanding and prediction, human-robot interaction or even avatar animation. We also extract 3D information from images that can be used for intelligent robot navigation, augmented reality and the 3D reconstruction of objects, buildings or even entire cities.
Our work covers the spectrum from unsupervised to supervised approaches, and from very deep architectures to very compact ones. We’re excited about the promise of big data to bring big performance gains to our algorithms but also passionate about the challenge of working in data-scarce and low-power scenarios.
Furthermore, we believe that a modern computer vision system needs to be able to continuously adapt itself to its environment and to improve itself via lifelong learning. Our driving goal is to use our research to deliver embodied intelligence to our users in robotics, autonomous driving, via phone cameras and any other visual means to reach people wherever they may be.
