• Abstract: The design process of user interfaces (UIs) often begins with articulating high-level design goals. Translating these high-level design goals into concrete design mock-ups, however, requires extensive effort and UI design expertise. To facilitate this process for app designers and developers, we introduce three deep-learning techniques to create low-fidelity UI mock-ups from a natural language phrase that describes the high-level design goal (e.g. "pop up displaying an image and other options"). In particular, we contribute two retrieval-based methods and one generative method, as well as pre-processing and post-processing techniques to ensure the quality of the created UI mock-ups. We quantitatively and qualitatively compare and contrast each method's ability in suggesting coherent, diverse and relevant UI design mock-ups. We further evaluate these methods with 15 professional UI designers and practitioners to understand each method's advantages and disadvantages. The designers responded positively to the potential of these methods for assisting the design process.

  We propose a VLM-based framework that generates content-aware text logo layouts. We introduce two model techniques to reduce the computation for processing multiple glyph images simultaneously. To support instruction-tuning of out model, we construct two extensive text logo datasets, which are 5x more larger than the existing public dataset.

  In graphic design, non-professional users often struggle to create visually appealing layouts due to limited skills and resources. We introduce a novel multimodal instruction-following framework for layout planning, allowing users to easily arrange visual elements into tailored layouts. Our method not only simplifies the design process for non-professionals but also surpasses the performance of few-shot GPT-4V models, with mIoU higher by 12% on Crello.

  I-Design is a personalized interior designer that allows users to generate and visualize their design goals through natural language communication. I-Design starts with a team of large language model agents that engage in dialogues and logical reasoning with one another. The final design is then constructed in 3D by retrieving and integrating assets from an existing object database.

  Inverse design, where we seek to design input variables in order to optimize an underlying objective function, is an important problem. We show that by instead optimizing over the learned energy function captured by the diffusion model, we can avoid such adversarial examples. In an N-body interaction task and a challenging 2D multi-airfoil design task, we demonstrate that by composing the learned diffusion model at test time, our method allows us to design initial states and boundary shapes.

  A tool which generates levels using interactive evolutionary optimisation was designed for this study. The tool identifies level design patterns in an initial hand-designed map and uses that information to drive an interactive optimisation algorithm. A rigorous user study was designed which compared the experiences of designers using the mixed-initiative tool to designers who were given a tool which provided completely random level suggestions.
