Sales Forecasting of New Clothing Products Based on Hierarchical Multi-Modal Attention Recurrent Neural Network
In the task of sales forecasting of new clothing products, the lack of historical sales data often necessitates the full utilization of data from other modalities as a supplement. However, multi-modal clothing data are usually redundant and heterogeneous. To solve the problems, a hierarchical multi-modal attention based recurrent neural network ( HMA-RNN ) including three main elements is proposed. The hierarchical structure separates high-level semantic information from low-level semantic information to avoid information redundancy. The multi-modal attention (MMA) is introduced in the fusion stage to mitigate inherent data non-alignment. The shared attention mechanism is utilized to build the dependencies across the multi-modal data. Experimental results on the Visuelle 2. 0 dataset show that the proposed approach achieves promising results with 72. 07 on the weighted average percentage error (WAPE) and 0. 80 on the mean absolute error (MAE), outperforming existing works significantly, which indicates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
