Many errors and repo maintenance

[vanga]

Hi,

This is just a note for future users who try to use this toolbox.

There are many errors with almost everything that I try to do. Code in this repository is not usable in its existing form. This seems to be the case with everyone else also looking at the issues in this repo.

For ex, #125 tries to fix quite a few of these issues it seems, which was opened almost a year back.

So, it seems like this repo is dead and not usable. Even after debugging these issues and get things to be working, predictions seem to be completely random even with the demo images that are part of the repo (I am not sure if I fixed things wrongly). So, this repo is definitely not for layman like originally inteded. Documentation is also very difficult to follow.

Apologies if this offends the maintainers(not my intention), I just want to make sure that other users don't spend time like me trying to get things working.
It will also be helpful to put a note in the readme that this repo is no longer maintained and that things may not work.

Hi Vanga, I needed to fix a few errors indeed, and even when fixed, still can't manage to get non-random results for the demo. Did you ever get this fixed and working?

No @merovingiano. I don't remember exactly what I did instead, but I definitely didn't find success with this repo. I think I tried some other models instead of these.

@vanga Thanks! Did you have success with another open source repo? I'm looking for a good pretrained model for fashion recommendation based on images + fashion metadata/attributes extraction from images.
