Abstract: 

In this presentation we build a multi-task deep learning model using DLPy to tag fashion clothing items. Convolutional neural networks show extraordinary performance for image classification and object recognition applications. DLPy is a high-level and easy-to-use Python API for SAS Deep Learning models. We explain how DLPy can be applied to data preparation, data processing, multi-task model building, assessment and deployment for image tagging.
