iFetch team is a multidisciplinary project that aims to research conversational technology and algorithms that will impact FARFETCH high-end fashion business.
After 15 months of research and development, we are thrilled to accomplish pivotal milestones aligned with our ambitions.
- We are thrilled to have a common code-base shared amongst all partners of the project that accelerates research and development in multimodal conversational agents;
- As part of this code-base, we have the functional working blocks laid out for the foundations in terms of specifications and software platform;
- A common multimodal dataset grounded on FARFETCH product catalogue in line with our tone of voice;
- A conversational AI agent that can encode user utterances into an internal representation required to decode internal states to the agent’s actions and responses for given business cases;
We still have many challenges ahead of us! However, it is now time for our Christmas break!
We are all very thankful for everyone’s efforts in propelling the FARFETCH shopping experience into the future. The iFetch team wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
