2026 Dual-Diffusional Generative Fashion Recommendation
abstract
Personalized generative recommender systems have emerged as a promising solution for fashion recommendation. However, existing methods primarily rely on implicit visual embeddings from historical interactions, which often contain preference-irrelevant information and result in insufficient user behavior modeling. Moreover, these models typically generate only item images, providing limited interpretability. To address these limitations, we propose DualFashion, a Dual-Diffusional Generative Fashion Recommendation Architecture that jointly models image and text modalities for personalized and explainable recommendation. DualFashion adopts a dual-diffusion Transformer with image and text branches, where structured attribute-level captions and visual outfit information are jointly used as conditioning signals to model user behavior. The proposed architecture produces both fashion item images and textual descriptions, ensuring visual compatibility while providing explicit semantic interpretability. Furthermore, we introduce a text-augmented fine-tuning strategy that enhances generation diversity and enables effective cross-modal knowledge transfer without incurring heavy computational costs. Extensive experiments on iFashion and Polyvore-U across Personalized Fill-in-the-Blank and Generative Outfit Recommendation tasks demonstrate that DualFashion achieves strong performance in behavior modeling, interpretability, and efficiency compared to state-of-the-art methods. Our code and model checkpoints are available at https://github.com/LinkMingzhe/DualFashion.

2025 ArtTypo: Multi-Level Controlled Artistic Typography with Iterative Feedback
abstract
Artistic typography visualizes the meaning of input characters by harmonizing font and imagery. However, current methods face significant challenges in balancing artistic expression with readability, precise control, and with limited support for non-Latin scripts. To address these issues, we propose ArtTypo, a novel multimodal guided, multi-level controlled framework for artistic typography with iterative feedback. To improve artistic expression, we follow the principles of art design, implement a Chain-of-Thought approach through Multimodal Large Language Models to integrate user intentions, and a feedback module for iterative refinement of outputs. For precise and multi-level control, we introduce auto path match to extract vector paths aligned with multimodal input. Additionally, we develop a texture with background preserving diffusion process, ensuring clean outputs and artistic expression as well. Experiments demonstrate that ArtTypo effectively generates diverse artistic typography, consistently producing visually appealing and contextually sensitive results.

2025 GenWardrobe: A Fully Generative System for Travel Fashion Wardrobe Construction
abstract
With the increasing demand for outfit planning in real-world travel scenarios, the need for constructing a travel fashion wardrobe, a series of outfits tailored to a user's personalization and destination-specific context over a short travel period, has grown significantly. However, existing systems or works often focus on isolated factors and rely on retrieval-based methods, with insufficient utilization of generative models, limiting their adaptability to real-world travel scenarios. To address this issue, this study introduces GenWardrobe, a fully generative system for travel fashion wardrobe construction. GenWardrobe consists of three key modules: user query analysis, fashion knowledge retrieval via retrieval-augmented generation and wardrobe image generation. To facilitate users' usage, we encapsulate the solution into an interactive web application. Expert-level evaluation shows that GenWardrobe significantly outperforms traditional systems in both personalization and visual appeal. PowerPoint file and more materials of Genwordrobe can be found on our Github repository: https://github.com/ShanFengShanFeng/GenWardrobe.

2025 FashionDPO: Fine-tune Fashion Outfit Generation Model using Direct Preference Optimization
abstract
Personalized outfit generation aims to construct a set of compatible and personalized fashion items as an outfit. Recently, generative AI models have received widespread attention, as they can generate fashion items for users to complete an incomplete outfit or create a complete outfit. However, they have limitations in terms of lacking diversity and relying on the supervised learning paradigm. Recognizing this gap, we propose a novel framework FashionDPO, which fine-tunes the fashion outfit generation model using direct preference optimization. This framework aims to provide a general fine-tuning approach to fashion generative models, refining a pre-trained fashion outfit generation model using automatically generated feedback, without the need to design a task-specific reward function. To make sure that the feedback is comprehensive and objective, we design a multi-expert feedback generation module which covers three evaluation perspectives, i.e., quality, compatibility and personalization. Experiments on two established datasets, i.e., iFashion and Polyvore-U, demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework in enhancing the model's ability to align with users' personalized preferences while adhering to fashion compatibility principles. Our code and model checkpoints are available at https://github.com/Yzcreator/FashionDPO.

2024 LayoutDM: Precision Multi-Scale Diffusion for Layout-to-Image
abstract
In recent research literature, the layout to image domain has gained significant traction. Research based on GANs can generate complete images, but there are still issues with insufficient details and overall quality not being high. Diffusion models, on the other hand, challenges still exist in ensuring the quality of image details in complex scene regions, as well as ensuring the smooth expression of the overall semantic information. To address these challenges, we propose LayoutDM based on multi-scale diffusion, which employs the Parallel Sampling Module to enhance local precision and ensures global semantic coherence through the Semantic Coherence Module. Significantly, our approach generates within the visible space, progressively revealing more details and semantic information. Simultaneously, our method enhances layout part handling via parallel region-wise clip guidance, achieving strong zero-shot generation without direct training samples. Tests on COCO-stuff and VG datasets confirm that our approach achieves both fine-grained object generation and overall visual effectiveness.

2024 Smart Fitting Room: A One-stop Framework for Matching-aware Virtual Try-On
abstract
The development of virtual try-on has revolutionized online shopping by allowing customers to visualize themselves in various fashion items, thus extending the in-store try-on experience to the cyber space. Although virtual try-on has attracted considerable research initiatives, existing systems only focus on the quality of image generation, overlooking whether the fashion item is a good match to the given person and clothes. Recognizing this gap, we propose to design a one-stop Smart Fitting Room, with the novel formulation of matching-aware virtual try-on. Following this formulation, we design a Hybrid Matching-aware Virtual Try-On Framework (HMaVTON), which combines retrieval-based and generative methods to foster a more personalized virtual try-on experience. This framework integrates a hybrid mix-and-match module and an enhanced virtual try-on module. The former can recommend fashion items available on the platform to boost sales and generate clothes that meets the diverse tastes of consumers. The latter provides high-quality try-on effects, delivering a one-stop shopping service. To validate the effectiveness of our approach, we enlist the expertise of fashion designers for a professional evaluation, assessing the rationality and diversity of the clothes combinations and conducting an evaluation matrix analysis. Our method significantly enhances the practicality of virtual try-on. The code is available at https://github.com/Yzcreator/HMaVTON.

2024 InstantAS: Minimum Coverage Sampling for Arbitrary-Size Image Generation
abstract
In recent years, diffusion models have dominated the field of image generation with their outstanding generation quality. However, pre-trained large-scale diffusion models are generally trained using fixed-size images, and fail to maintain their performance at different aspect ratios. Existing methods for generating arbitrary-size images based on diffusion models face several issues, including the requirement for extensive finetuning or training, sluggish sampling speed, and noticeable edge artifacts. This paper presents the InstantAS method for arbitrary-size image generation. This method performs non-overlapping minimum coverage segmentation on the target image, minimizing the generation of redundant information and significantly improving sampling speed. To maintain the consistency of the generated image, we also proposed the Inter-Domain Distribution Bridging method to integrate the distribution of the entire image and suppress the separation of diffusion paths in different regions of the image. Furthermore, we propose the dynamic semantic guided cross-attention method, allowing for the control of different regions using different semantics. Experimental results show that InstantAS has better fusion capabilities compared to previous arbitrary-size image generation methods and is far ahead in sampling speed compared to them.
