A year ago, I never would have thought I would be relying on a staff of eighty data scientists to dress me. But, I do.
A year ago, in preparation for attending a conference, for example, I would’ve been trying on a stack of clothes in a dressing room and relying on a total stranger to tell me if what I had on looked good and fit well.
Today, many of the outfits I wear are personally chosen for me and delivered in a box –- 5 pieces at a time –- based on my dimensions, my style preferences, and collaborative filtering algorithms. There are actually 85 data points captured.
