Abstract

The rise of Machine Learning (ML) is gradually digitalizing and reshaping the fashion industry, which is under pressure to achieve Net Zero. However, the integration of ML/AI for sustainable and circular practices remains limited due to a lack of domain-specific knowledge and data. My doctoral research aims to bridge this gap by designing digital multisensory textile experiences that enhance the understanding of the textile domain for both AI systems and humans. To this end, I develop TextileNet, the first fashion dataset using textile taxonomies for textile materials identification and classification via computer vision, and TextileBot, a domain-specific conversational agent. TextileBot integrates textile taxonomies with large language models (LLMs) to engage consumers in sustainable practices. Additionally, my research explores how multisensory experiences can improve user understanding and how AI perceives textiles. The overarching goal is to embed human expertise into machines, design immersive multisensory experiences, and facilitate natural human-AI interactions that promote sustainable practices.
