Dual-Diffusional Generative Fashion Recommendation
Personalized generative recommender systems have emerged as a promising solution for fashion recommendation. However, existing methods primarily rely on implicit visual embeddings from historical interactions, which often contain preference-irrelevant information and result in insufficient user behavior modeling. Moreover, these models typically generate only item images, providing limited interpretability. To address these limitations, we propose DualFashion, a Dual-Diffusional Generative Fashion Recommendation Architecture that jointly models image and text modalities for personalized and explainable recommendation. DualFashion adopts a dual-diffusion Transformer with image and text branches, where structured attribute-level captions and visual outfit information are jointly used as conditioning signals to model user behavior. The proposed architecture produces both fashion item images and textual descriptions, ensuring visual compatibility while providing explicit semantic interpretability. Furthermore, we introduce a text-augmented fine-tuning strategy that enhances generation diversity and enables effective cross-modal knowledge transfer without incurring heavy computational costs. Extensive experiments on iFashion and Polyvore-U across Personalized Fill-in-the-Blank and Generative Outfit Recommendation tasks demonstrate that DualFashion achieves strong performance in behavior modeling, interpretability, and efficiency compared to state-of-the-art methods.
