- **Training Data**: Synthetic Q&A pairs on sustainable and timeless fashion (see [https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/tiyabk/sustainable-fashion/data](#data-overview))

### Primary Use
The model excels at answering sustainable and timelesse fashion questions on:

**Eco-friendly fabrics**
- Fabric Recommendations: Users inquire about the best sustainable materials (e.g., organic cotton, linen, hemp, Tencel) for different climates or occasions.
- Material Care Guidance: Advice on proper care (washing, drying, storing) to extend the life of garments made with eco-friendly fabrics.

**Capsule wardrobe construction**
- Core Wardrobe Planning: Helps users identify essential clothing items that suit their lifestyle (e.g., a few versatile tops, bottom pieces, layering pieces).
- Minimalist Shopping Lists: Suggests how many items to include in each category (tops, pants, outerwear, etc.) to maintain both variety and wearability.
- Seasonal Transitions: Guides on switching out certain pieces for seasonal changes while keeping the majority of items year-round.

**Climate-specific styling**
- Weather-Appropriate Outfits: Users input local climate details (hot and humid vs. cold and dry), and the model advises on layering, fabric weights, and silhouettes.
- Travel Packing Assistance: For trips to different climates, the model helps curate a light but versatile wardrobe that can handle temperature and weather variations.
- Regional Seasonality: Accounts for monsoon seasons, harsh winters, or desert climates when recommending outfit structures, color choices, and fabric blends.

**Timeless color palettes and silhouettes**
- Color Palette Selection: Helps users identify a cohesive range of neutrals, accent colors, and core hues that - suit their skin tone and personal style.
- Long-Lasting Trends: Suggests classic cuts (e.g., A-line skirts, tailored trousers, button-up shirts) that transcend seasonal fads.
- Personalization: Balances timelessness with individual flair (e.g., a signature color or pattern) without sacrificing longevity.

### Evaluation
The model was evaluated on an internal validation set using built-in metrics (e.g., loss). The model has demonstrated robust understanding and consistent instruction-following behavior for fashion-related queries.

## Usage

Below is a minimal code snippet showing how to load and use the model for inference. This example assumes the merged model is available in a storage bucket or local path.

```bash
!pip install transformers accelerate huggingface_hub
```

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from huggingface_hub import notebook_login

# If your model is private, uncomment:
# notebook_login()

# 1) Set up the device
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

# 2) Load tokenizer & model from Hugging Face
model_path = "YourUsername/my-awesome-finetuned-model"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path, torch_dtype=torch.float16)
model.to(device)

# 3) Define your generation functions
def ask_fashion_model_short_response(question):
inputs = tokenizer(question, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model.generate(
**inputs,
max_new_tokens=200,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_k=50,
top_p=0.9,
repetition_penalty=1.2,
num_beams=1
)
return tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

def ask_fashion_model_long_response(question):
inputs = tokenizer(question, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model.generate(
**inputs,
max_new_tokens=512,
num_beams=2,
length_penalty=1.8,
temperature=1,
top_k=50,
top_p=1,
do_sample=False
)
return tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

# 4) Example usage
query = "What are some timeless ways to incorporate color into my wardrobe if I usually stick to neutral shades?"
response = ask_fashion_model_long_response(query)
print(response)
```

### Input / Output Shape
- **Input**: A user prompt or query in natural language (e.g., “How do I choose the right colors for my skin tone?”).
- **Output**: A single, text-based answer or instruction.

### Known and Preventable Failures
- **Ambiguous Requests**: Vague queries may yield broad responses. Encourage users to provide context.
- **Non-Fashion Queries**: The model is specialized for sustainable fashion tasks and might produce less accurate or irrelevant answers for unrelated domains.

## System

This model can be used as a **standalone** text-generation system or integrated into broader chat/assistant pipelines:
- **Input Requirements**: A plain text prompt describing a fashion or styling question.
- **Downstream Dependencies**: Any application expecting textual recommendations (e.g., e-commerce chatbots, personal stylist apps, content generation tools).

The model’s text output could feed into:
- **E-commerce**: Product recommendations for sustainability suggestions.
- **Editorial/Content**: Generating blog articles or social media posts on sustainability fashion topics.

## Implementation Requirements

- **Training Hardware**:
- **Machine Type**: `a2-ultragpu-8g` with 8 NVIDIA A100 80GB GPUs
- **Disk**: 500 GB SSD (`pd-ssd`)
- **Replica Count**: 1 (single worker)

- **Software**:
- Container image: `us-docker.pkg.dev/vertex-ai-restricted/vertex-vision-model-garden-dockers/pytorch-peft-train:stable_20240909`
- Key packages: PyTorch, Transformers, Deepspeed (Zero 2 config), LoRA libraries

- **Compute Requirements**:
Training with 8 GPUs over 5 epochs on a dataset of fashion Q&A pairs. Time to convergence depends on final dataset size and batch configuration (`per_device_train_batch_size=1` with gradient accumulation steps).

- **Performance & Energy Consumption**:
The usage of flash attention and 4-bit precision helps reduce memory usage and training costs. No exact energy consumption metrics are published, but overhead is significantly reduced compared to full FP16 or FP32 training.

# Data Overview

## Training Data

**Source**: A synthetic collection of 38K lines Q&A pairs about sustainable fashion, generated via advanced prompt engineering to cover:
- **Sustainable practices** (e.g., recycled materials, secondhand shopping)
- **Wardrobe fundamentals** (e.g., neutral color palettes, timeless silhouettes)
- **Climate-specific styling**
- **Budget constraints**
...

**Pre-processing**: Minimal text cleaning (e.g., removing extraneous symbols), focusing on clarity and consistency.

## Demographic Groups

The data does not explicitly classify demographics. Rather, it addresses general styling contexts (body changes, climate differences, budget considerations) that can be relevant across diverse populations.

## Evaluation Data

- **Train / Test / Dev Splits**: Partitioned from the same synthetic source:
- **Train**: Main dataset (`train` split)
- **Evaluation**: Sustainable Fashion Eval
- **Differences**: All synthetic, but evaluation focuses on multi-turn instructions, ensuring coverage of real-world complexities.
