After Deep Learning (DL) regained popularity recently, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) or
Machine Learning (ML) field is undergoing rapid growth concerning research and real-world …

Free-hand sketches are highly illustrative, and have been widely used by humans to depict
objects or stories from ancient times to the present. The recent prevalence of touchscreen …

Conceptual design is the foundational stage of a design process that translates ill-defined
design problems into low-fidelity design concepts and prototypes through design search …

Creating layouts is a fundamental step in graphic design. In this work, we propose to use text
as the guidance to create graphic layouts, ie, Text-to-Layout, aiming to lower the design …

Evolutionary algorithms (ES) have been used in the digital art scene since the 1970s. A
popular application of genetic algorithms is to optimize the procedural placement of vector …

Sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) is an attractive research area where freehand sketches
are used as queries to retrieve relevant images. Existing solutions have advanced the task …

Large language models (LLMs) have made tremendous progress in natural language
understanding and they have also been successfully adopted in other domains such as …

When commissioning visual art, clients and artists communicate to agree on what is to be
created. This often requires bridging a language gap in how they conceive art. To arrive at a …

Iteratively refining and critiquing sketches are crucial steps to developing effective designs.
We introduce Scones, a mixed-initiative, machine-learning-driven system that enables users …

In this paper, we aim to explore the fine-grained perception ability of deep models for the
newly proposed scene sketch semantic segmentation task. Scene sketches are abstract …
