Due to the advancements in deep learning, visual recommendation systems are implemented using visual features from Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) as representations of images. The tutorial focuses on the implementation of visual recommendation systems using deep learning techniques, as well as model evaluation. For this purpose, we present some of the available research resources from the Wikimedia Foundation, introducing a new dataset for image recommendation. The tutorial aims at introducing visual recommendation systems to the data mining community, guiding participants through the complete pipeline of a visual recommendation problem, from data gathering to model evaluation and analysis.

Just like you, we have been looking for several years for some datasets to train our models. For instance, the RecSys dataset collection by Prof. Julian McAuley at USCD has datasets, but due to copyright issues he only shares embeddings as .npy and in some cases (such as the Amazon datasets) links to image URLS so you can download them on your own. We need images to test if our recommendations are making sense!
We acknowledge the support of Diego Saez-Trumper from Wikimedia foundation to collect this dataset.
