• Abstract: Representing artistic style is challenging due to its deep entanglement with semantic content. We propose StyleDecoupler, an information-theoretic framework that leverages a key insight: multi-modal vision models encode both style and content, while uni-modal models suppress style to focus on content-invariant features. By using uni-modal representations as content-only references, we isolate pure style features from multi-modal embeddings through mutual information minimization. StyleDecoupler operates as a plug-and-play module on frozen Vision-Language Models without fine-tuning. We also introduce WeART, a large-scale benchmark of 280K artworks across 152 styles and 1,556 artists. Experiments show state-of-the-art performance on style retrieval across WeART and WikiART, while enabling applications like style relationship mapping and generative model evaluation. We release our method and dataset at this url.

  Crossmodal matching problem is typically solved by learning a joint embedding space where semantic content shared between photo and sketch modalities are preserved. An effective model needs to explicitly account for this style diversity, crucially, to unseen user styles. Our model can not only disentangle the cross-modal shared semantic content, but can adapt the disentanglement to any unseen user style as well, making the model truly agnostic.
