Insight AI is shaking up the SaaS business model. Based on hands-on development experience, I explore how combining rule-based systems with AI agents points the way forward.
Series The origin story of META FIT: how a decades-old vision of seeing yourself in clothes before buying evolved from hardware kiosks to GAN-powered virtual try-on, plus a comprehensive survey of 15+ VTON research models.
Series A deep dive into Generative Adversarial Networks: how the generator-discriminator dynamic works, why GANs dominated image generation before diffusion models, and how they power virtual try-on systems.
Series A code-level walkthrough of the Parser-Free Appearance Flow Network: Feature Pyramid encoding, CUDA-accelerated correlation kernels, optical flow warping, and the ResUnet generator that composites garments onto people.
Series What the GAN-based virtual try-on system achieved, where it failed (and why), the smartphone app design, and how diffusion models are changing everything for the next generation of META FIT.
Series How OpenPose skeletal detection, Graphonomy human parsing, and custom body measurement algorithms work together to enable accurate virtual fitting — plus an exploration of PiFu for 2D-to-3D reconstruction.
Series How I tackled the universal 'what's for dinner' problem over a decade ago using classical data science — cleansing 20,000 recipes, 200,000 ingredient records, and nutritional data into a unified ML-ready dataset.
Series Using cosine similarity on nutritional vectors to find recipes that match a target meal's nutrition profile but offer completely different flavors — at both the recipe and menu level.
Series Years after building the original ML pipeline, LLMs changed everything — using the ChatGPT API to simplify elaborate recipes into weeknight-friendly meals, and reflecting on a decade-long journey from cosine similarity to LSTM to GPT.
