• Title: At the Intersection of Deep Learning and Conceptual Art: The End of Signature
• Authors: Divya Shanmugam, Katie Lewis, Jose Javier Gonzalez-Ortiz, Agnieszka Kurant, John Guttag
• Abstract summary: Art was to reflect the fact that scientific discovery is often the result of many individual contributions, both acknowledged and unacknowledged. Computer scientists developed generative models and a human-in-the-loop feedback process to work with the artist. Large-scale steel, LED and neon light sculptures appear to sign two new buildings in Cambridge, MA.

• Abstract: MIT wanted to commission a large scale artwork that would serve to 'illuminate a new campus gateway, inaugurate a space of exchange between MIT and Cambridge, and inspire our students, faculty, visitors, and the surrounding community to engage with art in new ways and to have art be part of their daily lives.' Among other things, the art was to reflect the fact that scientific discovery is often the result of many individual contributions, both acknowledged and unacknowledged. In this work, a group of computer scientists collaborated with a conceptual artist to produce a collective signature, or a signature learned from contributions of an entire community. After collecting signatures from two communities -- the university, and the surrounding city -- the computer scientists developed generative models and a human-in-the-loop feedback process to work with the artist create an original signature-like structure representative of each community. These signatures are now large-scale steel, LED and neon light sculptures that appear to sign two new buildings in Cambridge, MA.

  We propose a novel task of aesthetics alignment which seeks to align user-specified aesthetics with the T2I generation output. Inspired by how artworks provide an invaluable perspective to approach aesthetics, we codify visual aesthetics using the compositional framework artists employ. We demonstrate that T2I DMs can effectively offer 10 compositional controls through user-specified PoA conditions.

  This paper presents a comparative evaluation of two systems: GPT-4o and Claude 3.5, in the task of architectural 3D synthesis. We conduct a case study on two buildings from Palladio's Four Books of Architecture (1965): Villa Rotonda and Palazzo Porto. We assess the systems' abilities in (1) interpreting 2D and 3D representations of buildings from drawings, (2) encoding the buildings into a CAD software script, and (3) self-improving based on outputs.

  CRAFT@Large is an initiative launched by the Maker at Cornell Tech to create an inclusive environment for the exchange of ideas through making. We challenge the traditional definition of community outreach performed by academic makerspaces. Existing academic makerspaces often perform community engagement by only offering hourly, one-time workshops or by having community members provide a problem that is then used by students as a project assignment.

  Large-scale text-to-image generative models have made impressive strides, showcasing their ability to synthesize a vast array of high-quality images. However, adapting these models for artistic image editing presents two significant challenges. We build the innovative unified framework Creative Synth, which is based on a diffusion model with the ability to coordinate multimodal inputs.

• Pathway to Future Symbiotic Creativity [76.20798455931603]
  We propose a classification of the creative system with a hierarchy of 5 classes, showing the pathway of creativity evolving from a mimic-human artist to a Machine artist in its own right. In art creation, it is necessary for machines to understand humans' mental states, including desires, appreciation, and emotions, humans also need to understand machines' creative capabilities and limitations. We propose a novel framework for building future Machine artists, which comes with the philosophy that a human-compatible AI system should be based on the "human-in-the-loop" principle.

We devise a novel reinforcement learning method such that agents are evolved jointly towards successful communication and abstract graphical conventions.

  We introduce two datasets of creative sketches -- Creative Birds and Creative Creatures -- containing 10k sketches each along with part annotations. We propose DoodlerGAN -- a part-based Generative Adrial Network (GAN) -- to generate unseen compositions of novel part appearances. Quantitative evaluations as well as human studies demonstrate that sketches generated by our approach are more creative and of higher quality than existing approaches.
