• Abstract summary: Cross-modal garment synthesis and manipulation will significantly benefit the way fashion designers generate garments. We introduce DiffCloth, a diffusion-based pipeline for cross-modal garment synthesis and manipulation. Experiments on the CM-Fashion benchmark demonstrate that DiffCloth both yields state-of-the-art garment synthesis results.

• Abstract: Cross-modal garment synthesis and manipulation will significantly benefit the way fashion designers generate garments and modify their designs via flexible linguistic interfaces.Current approaches follow the general text-to-image paradigm and mine cross-modal relations via simple cross-attention modules, neglecting the structural correspondence between visual and textual representations in the fashion design domain. In this work, we instead introduce DiffCloth, a diffusion-based pipeline for cross-modal garment synthesis and manipulation, which empowers diffusion models with flexible compositionality in the fashion domain by structurally aligning the cross-modal semantics. Specifically, we formulate the part-level cross-modal alignment as a bipartite matching problem between the linguistic Attribute-Phrases (AP) and the visual garment parts which are obtained via constituency parsing and semantic segmentation, respectively. To mitigate the issue of attribute confusion, we further propose a semantic-bundled cross-attention to preserve the spatial structure similarities between the attention maps of attribute adjectives and part nouns in each AP. Moreover, DiffCloth allows for manipulation of the generated results by simply replacing APs in the text prompts. The manipulation-irrelevant regions are recognized by blended masks obtained from the bundled attention maps of the APs and kept unchanged. Extensive experiments on the CM-Fashion benchmark demonstrate that DiffCloth both yields state-of-the-art garment synthesis results by leveraging the inherent structural information and supports flexible manipulation with region consistency.

  We present a novel Spectral-dEcomposed Token (SET) learning framework to advance the frontier.

  Conditional diffusion models have exhibited superior performance in high-fidelity text-guided visual generation and editing. We propose a novel and general contextualized diffusion model (ContextDiff) by incorporating the cross-modal context encompassing interactions and alignments between text condition and visual sample. We generalize our model to both DDPMs and DDIMs with theoretical derivations, and demonstrate the effectiveness of our model in evaluations with two challenging tasks: text-to-image generation, and text-to-video editing.

  Unpaired cross-lingual image captioning has long suffered from irrelevancy and disfluency issues. In this work, we propose to address the above problems by incorporating the scene graph (SG) structures and the syntactic constituency (SC) trees. Our captioner contains the semantic structure-guided image-to-pivot captioning and the syntactic structure-guided pivot-to-target translation.

We present Graph Adaptive Semantic Transfer (GAST) model, an adaptive syntactic graph embedding method that is able to learn domain-invariant semantics from both word sequences and syntactic graphs.

  The current state-of-the-art image-sentence retrieval methods implicitly align the visual-textual fragments. We propose a novel Structured Multi-modal Feature Embedding and Alignment model for image-sentence retrieval. In particular, the relations of the visual and textual fragments are modeled by constructing Visual Context-aware Structured Tree encoder (VCS-Tree) and Textual Context-aware Structured Tree encoder (TCS-Tree) with shared labels.

  Referring image segmentation aims at segmenting the foreground masks of the entities that can well match the description given in the natural language expression.

We propose a Cross-Modal Progressive (CMPC) module and a Text-Guided Feature Exchange (TGFE) module to effectively address the challenging task.
