Global retailers have assortments that contain hundreds of thousands of products that can be linked by several types of relationships like style compatibility, "bought together", "watched together", etc. Graphs are a natural representation for assortments, where products are nodes and relations are edges. Relations like style compatibility are often produced by a manual process and therefore do not cover uniformly the whole graph. We propose to use inductive learning to enhance a graph encoding style compatibility of a fashion assortment, leveraging rich node information comprising textual descriptions and visual data. Then, we show how the proposed graph enhancement improves substantially the performance on transductive tasks with a minor impact on graph sparsity.
