Outfit Transformer: Outfit Representations for Fashion Recommendation

📌 Introduction

This repository provides the implementation of Outfit Transformer, a model designed for fashion recommendation, inspired by:

Rohan Sarkar et al. Outfit Transformer: Outfit Representations for Fashion Recommendation. CVPR 2023.

Our implementation faithfully reproduces the original paper’s method while introducing key improvements for enhanced performance and efficiency.

🚀 Key Improvements

✅ Enhanced Performance: Upgraded the backbone architecture for better accuracy and generalization.

✅ Faster Training: Precomputes item features, significantly reducing computational overhead.

✅ Refined CIR Task: Eliminates data leakage from item descriptions/categories and replaces them with learnable embeddings, making the model more robust.

🏋️ Training & Evaluation

Step 1: Precompute CILP Embeddings

Before proceeding with training, make sure to precompute the CLIP embeddings, as all subsequent steps rely on these precomputed features.

python -m src.run.1_generate_clip_embeddings

Step 2: Compatibility Prediction

Train the model for the Compatibility Prediction (CP) task.

🔥 Train

python -m src.run.2_train_compatibility \
--wandb_key $YOUR/WANDB/API/KEY

🎯 Test

python -m src.run.2_test_compatibility \
--checkpoint $PATH/TO/LOAD/MODEL/.PT/FILE

Step 3: Complementary Item Retrieval

After completing Step 1, use the best checkpoint from the Compatibility Prediction task to train for the Complementary Item Retrieval (CIR) task.

🔥 Train

python -m src.run.3_train_complementary \
--wandb_key $YOUR/WANDB/API/KEY \
--checkpoint $PATH/TO/LOAD/MODEL/.PT/FILE

🎯 Test

python -m src.run.3_test_complemenatry \
--checkpoint $PATH/TO/LOAD/MODEL/.PT/FILE
