description With the rapid development of the online shopping, the pursuit of outfit compatibility has become a basic requirement for an increasing number of customers. The existing work on outfit compatibility prediction largely focuses on modeling pairwise item compatibility without considering modeling the whole outfit directly. To address the problem, in this paper, we propose a novel hypergraph-based compatibility modeling scheme named OCPHN, which is able to better model complex relationships among outfits. In OCPHN, we represent the outfit as a hypergraph, where each hypernode represents a category and each hyperedge represents the interactions between multiple categories (i.e., they appear in the same outfit). To better predict outfit compatibility, the hypergraph is transformed into a simple graph, and the message propagation mechanism in the graph convolution network is used to aggregate the neighbours’ information on the node and update the node representations. Furthermore, with learned node representations, an attention mechanism is introduced to compute the outfit compatibility score. Using a benchmark dataset, the experimental results show that the proposed method is an improvement over the strangest baselines in terms of accuracy by about 3% and 1% in the fill-in-the-blank and compatibility prediction tasks, respectively.
