• Authors: Yaroslav Ganin, Sergey Bartunov, Yujia Li, Ethan Keller, Stefano Saliceti
• Abstract summary: We propose a machine learning model capable of automatically generating highly structured 2D sketches. Our method is a combination of a general-purpose language modeling technique alongside an off-the-shelf data serialization protocol. We show that our approach has enough flexibility to accommodate the complexity of the domain and performs well for both unconditional synthesis and image-to-sketch translation.

• Abstract: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) applications are used in manufacturing to model everything from coffee mugs to sports cars. These programs are complex and require years of training and experience to master. A component of all CAD models particularly difficult to make are the highly structured 2D sketches that lie at the heart of every 3D construction. In this work, we propose a machine learning model capable of automatically generating such sketches. Through this, we pave the way for developing intelligent tools that would help engineers create better designs with less effort. Our method is a combination of a general-purpose language modeling technique alongside an off-the-shelf data serialization protocol. We show that our approach has enough flexibility to accommodate the complexity of the domain and performs well for both unconditional synthesis and image-to-sketch translation.

These outputs can be directly used with existing CAD tools' APIs to generate project files.

  Misalignment between model predictions and intended usage can be detrimental for the deployment of computer vision models. In natural language processing, this is often addressed using reinforcement learning techniques that align models with a task reward. We adopt this approach and show its surprising effectiveness across multiple computer vision tasks, such as object detection, panoptic segmentation, colorization and image captioning.

  Existing studies only generate portraits in the 2D plane with fixed views, making the results less vivid. In this paper, we present Stereoscopic Simplified Sketch-to-Portrait (SSSP), which explores the possibility of creating Stereoscopic 3D-aware portraits. Our key insight is to design sketch-aware constraints that can fully exploit the prior knowledge of a tri-plane-based 3D-aware generative model.

  We show how data combined with machine learning techniques can predict how well a particular student will perform in a design task. We found that our models using early design sequence actions are particularly valuable for prediction. Further improvements to these models could lead to earlier predictions and thus provide students feedback sooner to enhance their learning.
