description Recommendation systems (RS) play an important role in e-commerce applications as they help the consumers in choosing the required items within reduced time. The traditional methods of collaborative filtering, fail to capture the visual data associated with the items. Visually-aware recommendation systems are upcoming in e-commerce applications that use the visual features of the products rather than the user profiles. Deep learning techniques are used for the classification and prediction in visual recommendation systems. However, the criticality of the visual recommendation system lies in identifying the similar images for a given target image. In this paper, a visual recommendation system is proposed based on Deep Visual Ensemble similarity metric (DVESM) using Convolutional Autoencoder (CAE) neural network for classification. The basic idea is to get a set of trained feature vectors for the image catalogue using CAE and find the similarity between the trained feature vectors and the target feature vector using DVESM method. The proposed methodology of using DVESM has been demonstrated with the state-of-the-art methods on Amazon 2014, 2015 and Street2Shop datasets. The results show that the DVESM method is most suitable for visually aware recommendation systems as it learns an ensemble of metrics to provide recommendations.
