Cognitive model based fashion style decision making

The decision of the style of a garment was affected by not only the physical attributes of the components of the garment but also the decision context. Lacking consideration of the decision context leads to the prediction failure of many models in intelligent fashion design systems. This paper proposed to integrate the cognitive model – Multi-alternative Decision Field Theory (MDFT) with Genetic Algorithm to tackle the context problem, specifically, the choice set when a decision was made. A unified S expression and its sign deciding mechanism was given out. Experiments showed that the proposed model gives out a better prediction of human fashion style decision than GA only model.
