LLMs generate image quality labels to boost e-commerce sales

Researchers have developed a method called Image Score to evaluate image quality for e-commerce platforms like Mercari. This approach utilizes Large Language Models (LLMs) with Chain-of-Thought prompting to generate aesthetic labels for product images. The LLM-generated labels correlate with user behavior and are more cost-effective than human evaluation, leading to improved customer journey optimization and a significant increase in sales during online experimentation.
