Digital art portfolios serve as impactful mediums for artists to convey their visions, weaving together visuals, audio, interactions, and narratives. However, without technical backgrounds, design students often find it challenging to…
Creating a stroke-by-stroke evolution process of a visual artwork tries to bridge the emotional and educational gap between the finished static artwork and its creation process. Recent stroke-based painting systems focus on capturing stroke…
Step-by-step painting tutorials are vital for learning artistic techniques, but existing video resources (e.g., YouTube) lack interactivity and personalization. While recent generative models have advanced artistic image synthesis, they…
There is a growing recognition that artists use valuable ways to understand and work with cognitive and perceptual mechanisms to convey desired experiences and narrative in their created artworks (DiPaola et al., 2010; Zeki, 2001). This…
We present SketchGPT, a flexible framework that employs a sequence-to-sequence autoregressive model for sketch generation, and completion, and an interpretation case study for sketch recognition. By mapping complex sketches into simplified…
This paper proposes a framework for computational modeling of artistic painting algorithms, inspired by human creative practices. Based on examples from expert artists and from the author's own experience, the paper argues that creative…
Latent diffusers revolutionized the generative AI and inspired creative art. When denoising the latent, the predicted original image at each step collectively animates the formation. However, the animation is limited by the denoising nature…
Painting is an artistic process of rendering visual content that achieves the high-level communication goals of an artist that may change dynamically throughout the creative process. In this paper, we present a Framework and Robotics…
Drawing supports learning by externalizing mental models, but providing timely feedback at scale remains challenging. We present Draw2Learn, a system that explores how AI can act as a supportive teammate during drawing-based learning. The…
From Paleolithic cave paintings to Impressionism, human painting has evolved to depict increasingly complex and detailed scenes, conveying more nuanced messages. This paper attempts to emerge this artistic capability by simulating the…
Curating high-quality, domain-specific datasets is a major bottleneck for deploying robust vision systems, requiring complex trade-offs between data quality, diversity, and cost when researching vast, unlabeled data lakes. We introduce…
One way illustrators engage in disciplined drawing - the process of drawing to improve technical skills - is through studying and replicating reference images. However, for many novice and intermediate digital artists, knowing how to…
One of the core components in online multiple object tracking (MOT) frameworks is associating new detections with existing tracklets, typically done via a scoring function. Despite the great advances in MOT, designing a reliable scoring…
This paper describes the AI Drawing Partner, which is a co-creative drawing agent that also serves as a research platform to model co-creation. The AI Drawing Partner is an early example of a quantified co-creative AI system that…
With the advancements in denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs), image inpainting has significantly evolved from merely filling information based on nearby regions to generating content conditioned on various prompts such as text,…
How does one adapt a pre-trained visual model to novel downstream tasks without task-specific finetuning or any model modification? Inspired by prompting in NLP, this paper investigates visual prompting: given input-output image example(s)…
We show how to teach machines to paint like human painters, who can use a small number of strokes to create fantastic paintings. By employing a neural renderer in model-based Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), our agents learn to determine…
Given an input painting, we reconstruct a time-lapse video of how it may have been painted. We formulate this as an autoregressive image generation problem, in which an initially blank "canvas" is iteratively updated. The model learns from…
Existing vision-and-language navigation (VLN) models primarily reason over past and current visual observations, while largely ignoring the future visual dynamics induced by actions. As a result, they often lack an effective understanding…
Creating music is iterative, requiring varied methods at each stage. However, existing AI music systems fall short in orchestrating multiple subsystems for diverse needs. To address this gap, we introduce Loop Copilot, a novel system that…
