Moreover, this ratio is deeply related to our size, bone structure, skin tone and so on. However, no one has yet been able to identify or quantify this equation of fashion.\u3000<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our goal is to prove that there is in fact a fashion equation. By reconsidering the relationship between people and fashion from many different angles, and applying our very own tremendous amount of fashion related data we have captured over the years, which perhaps no one else in the entire world has access to, in addition to the new body data that we will gain in the future, we aim to scientifically prove the ambiguous, captivating and complex factors that makes fashion cool, cute and beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u3010The information asset of Start Today Group\u3011<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbOver a 100 million cases of purchase data<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbApproximately 30 million official brand product data (item images, item, category, SKU and material information, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbApproximately 10 million outfits \/ styling data (styling images, product and tag information, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbApproximately 23 million user information (attributes, order history, purchased items, view history, search history, favorite items, favorite outfits \/ stylings, favorite shops, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbApproximately 20 thousand\u00a0brand information.<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbApproximately 50 thousand registered shop information<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbRaking information based on category<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbApproximately 30 million logistics related data (annual)<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbRelated data to customer support service<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbBody measurement data that will be gained in the future from the \u201cZOZOSUIT\u201d<\/p>\n<p>*We will not use any data that could be used to identify a specific individual.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Start Today Research is recruiting researchers \/ engineers who can agree and relate to our mission statement, and who are experts in at least one of the fields listed below.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested, please contact us from our website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Machine learning \/ AI (Artificial intelligence)\/ Encryption technology \/ Information geometry \/ Pattern recognition, Pattern classification \/ Relational data, Big data \/ Optimization theory \/ Conductive fibers \/ Materials such as plastic and silicon \/ Viscous fluid dynamics \/ CV\uff08AR, VR, MR, etc.\uff09 \/ Electronic circuit (Analog circuit, ASIC, FPGA etc.)\/ Robotics, Control Engineering, Communications Engineering, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u3010URL\u3011<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/research.starttoday.jp<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u3010The visual symbol of Start Today Research\u3011<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The symbol of Start Today is the earth, and for Start Today Research we have selected the moon.
