Disentangling Multiple Conditional Inputs in GANs
This is the Tensorflow implementation of our paper <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.07819" target="_blank">Disentangling Multiple Conditional Inputs in GANs</a>, which is published in KDD-AI for Fashion Workshop. Our code is tested with Tensorflow 1.8 (Python 3.6). We modified the code from Progressive Growing of GANs for Improved Quality, Stability, and Variation and used it without progressive growing.
Overview
The process of fashion design requires extensive amount of knowledge in creation and production of garments. A machine-assisted design approach that combines human experience with deep learning can help designers to rapidly visualize an original garment and can save time on design iteration cycles.
In this paper, we propose a method that disentangles the effects of multiple input conditions in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). In particular, we demonstrate our method in controlling color, texture, and shape of a generated garment image for computer-aided fashion design. The flowchart of our method is as follows:

Before running the code, please check dataset_tool.py and dataset.py files and make sure that you modify them for your purposes. Creating and loading the dataset will depend on the task.
In dataset_tool.py, you can check how we created an image dataset along with color labels:
In dataset.py, you can check how we load our dataset as follows:
Training
You can adjust the training parameters by modifying the config.py file. After that, the training can be performed by running the following code:
python train.py
Examples
The main motivation of our paper is to disentangle the effect of conditional GAN inputs on a generated image. In other words, we want the texture and shape of an article to stay the same, when we change the color input (true for all input attributes) Our model has three inputs: color, texture, and shape.
