Explore the development of an image recognition system for detecting clothing characteristics using deep learning and neural networks in this conference talk. Learn about the journey from prototype to production, including model training, system development, and creating production-worthy applications. Discover how to access a Kinect from the web and interface with the image recognition system. Gain insights into implementing deep learning techniques in customer-facing applications through code examples in Java, Node.js, React, and Python. Follow the process of creating and training models, categorizing images, and moving from categorization to recommendation. Understand the challenges faced and solutions implemented in developing a clothing analyzer, from initial tests to improved versions.
