• Authors: Tsu-Jui Fu, Xin Eric Wang, William Yang Wang
• Abstract summary: We introduce a new task -- language-driven image style transfer (textttLDIST) -- to manipulate the style of a content image, guided by a text. The discriminator considers the correlation between language and patches of style images or transferred results to jointly embed style instructions. Experiments show that our CLVA is effective and achieves superb transferred results on textttLDIST.

• Abstract: Despite having promising results, style transfer, which requires preparing style images in advance, may result in lack of creativity and accessibility. Following human instruction, on the other hand, is the most natural way to perform artistic style transfer that can significantly improve controllability for visual effect applications. We introduce a new task -- language-driven image style transfer (\texttt{LDIST}) -- to manipulate the style of a content image, guided by a text. We propose contrastive language visual artist (CLVA) that learns to extract visual semantics from style instructions and accomplish \texttt{LDIST} by the patch-wise style discriminator. The discriminator considers the correlation between language and patches of style images or transferred results to jointly embed style instructions. CLVA further compares contrastive pairs of content image and style instruction to improve the mutual relativeness between transfer results. The transferred results from the same content image can preserve consistent content structures. Besides, they should present analogous style patterns from style instructions that contain similar visual semantics. The experiments show that our CLVA is effective and achieves superb transferred results on \texttt{LDIST}.

  We propose StylerDALLE, a style transfer method that uses natural language to describe abstract art styles. Specifically, we formulate the language-guided style transfer task as a non-autoregressive token sequence translation. To incorporate style information, we propose a Reinforcement Learning strategy with CLIP-based language supervision.

  Unified Contrastive Arbitrary Style Transfer (UCAST) is a novel style representation learning and transfer framework. We present an adaptive contrastive learning scheme for style transfer by introducing an input-dependent temperature. Our framework consists of three key components, i.e., a parallel contrastive learning scheme for style representation and style transfer, a domain enhancement module for effective learning of style distribution, and a generative network for style transfer.

  Unpaired exemplar-based image-to-image (UEI2I) translation aims to translate a source image to a target image domain with the style of a target image exemplar. We propose to represent style as a dense feature map, allowing for a finer-grained transfer to the source image without requiring any external semantic information. Our results show that the translations produced by our approach are more diverse, preserve the source content better, and are closer to the exemplars when compared to the state-of-the-art methods.

  DiffStyler is a dual diffusion processing architecture to control the balance between the content and style of diffused results.
