Core of Personalization at Polyvore: Style ProfileJiang Zhu
Over the past year, our engineering team has undertaken the task of creating a more personalized experience for our users. We already have an amazing community of designers, artists, and fashion enthusiasts who come to Polyvore to get inspired around shopping. However, we felt that with a little bit of machine learning we could help users discover and shop for even more products that they may not have found on their own.
In this blog post we’ll walk through some of the ways we are using machine learning to understand our users individual style, which we call a Style Profile, to recommend more personalized products and outfits.
This document discusses outfit recommendation on the social fashion website Polyvore. It notes that Polyvore allows users to create outfits from individual clothing items, organize outfits into collections, and join groups with similar tastes. The goal of outfit recommendation is to recommend new outfits a user will like based on what they and similar users have liked in the past. However, sparsity is a challenge since there are millions of users and items but each individual item receives relatively few likes. The document proposes using both collaborative filtering based on item, outfit, and collection likes as well as content-based filtering using tags and groups to overcome sparsity and provide personalized recommendations.
Polyvore is both an app and website that allows users to create collages for fashion and interior design. Users can search for and add items to their collages, arrange them, and edit visual effects. Collages can then be published, shared on social media, and any items in the collage can be purchased. Both individuals and businesses can use Polyvore for creative expression, inspiration, and marketing purposes. Signing up is free and simple, allowing users to customize their profiles and search for trending items to include in their virtual collages.
Machine Learning is hard, asking another person's opinion is easy. In this presentation we talk about how Polyvore ( www.polyvore.com) uses Amazon's Mechanical Turk to answer questions too hard for the fastest machines and the best classifiers. We also reveal the secret sauce that helped boost our Mturk answer accuracies from 60% to over 90%.

Fake Doors - How to Test Product Ideas Quickly - Hustlecon 2013Jess Lee
The document discusses the concept of "fake door testing" as a way to quickly test product ideas. It explains that people are better at reacting to things that exist rather than predicting what they want. Fake door testing involves building the minimum viable product to test key assumptions, while faking other elements, and testing it on real users. The document provides examples and steps for conducting fake door testing, including building a sales interface for user-generated outfits, faking partnerships with retailers, and directly handling shipping to test the idea. It emphasizes the need for tolerance of failure, clear metrics, not betraying user trust, and that fake door testing is not a replacement for ideation.

Lifecycle of a GME Trader: From Newbie to Diamond Handsmediavestfzllc
Your phone buzzes with a Reddit notification. It's the WallStreetBets forum, a cacophony of memes, rocketship emojis, and fervent discussions about Gamestop (GME) stock. A spark ignites within you - a mix of internet bravado, a rebellious urge to topple the hedge funds (remember Mr. Mayo?), and maybe that one late-night YouTube rabbit hole about tendies. You decide to YOLO (you only live once, right?).
Ramen noodles become your new best friend. Every spare penny gets tossed into the GME piggy bank. You're practically living on fumes, but the dream of a moonshot keeps you going. Your phone becomes an extension of your hand, perpetually glued to the GME ticker. It's a roller-coaster ride - every dip a stomach punch, every rise a shot of adrenaline.
Then, it happens. Roaring Kitty, the forum's resident legend, fires off a cryptic tweet. The apes, as the GME investors call themselves, erupt in a frenzy. Could this be it? Is the rocket finally fueled for another epic launch? You grip your phone tighter, heart pounding in your chest. It's a wild ride, but you're in it for the long haul.
