Fashion Outfit Generation via Unified Sequential Composition Models

arXiv:2608.13888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The task of synthesizing stylistically coherent fashion outfits from massive item libraries, known as fashion outfit generation, remains a non-trivial challenge, primarily due to the non-monotonic and implicit nature of aesthetic compatibility, coupled with the exponentially large combinatorial search space. In this paper, we formalize this task as Constrained Ensemble Generation (CEG) and model it as a finite-horizon deterministic Markov Decision Process. To address CEG in fashion, we propose the Unified Sequential Composition Model (USCM), which jointly models set-level compatibility and latent composition intents. Guided by USCM's learned priors, a Latent Expansion Monte Carlo Tree Search (LE-MCTS) mechanism is proposed to handle item retrieval during composition, balancing local aesthetic synergy with global structural balance. Extensive experiments on the Polyvore Outfits dataset, along with zero-shot evaluations on the iFashion and PolyvoreU datasets, demonstrate that our framework achieves state-of-the-art performance across independent human preference evaluations, automated aesthetic proxies, and structural validity metrics for constrained fashion outfit generation.
