• Abstract summary: Pictorial visualization seamlessly integrates data and semantic context into visual representation. We propose ChartSpark, a novel system that embeds semantic context into chart based on text-to-image generative model. We develop an interactive visual interface that integrates a text analyzer, editing module, and evaluation module to enable users to generate, modify, and assess pictorial visualizations.

• Abstract: Pictorial visualization seamlessly integrates data and semantic context into visual representation, conveying complex information in a manner that is both engaging and informative. Extensive studies have been devoted to developing authoring tools to simplify the creation of pictorial visualizations. However, mainstream works mostly follow a retrieving-and-editing pipeline that heavily relies on retrieved visual elements from a dedicated corpus, which often compromise the data integrity. Text-guided generation methods are emerging, but may have limited applicability due to its predefined recognized entities. In this work, we propose ChartSpark, a novel system that embeds semantic context into chart based on text-to-image generative model. ChartSpark generates pictorial visualizations conditioned on both semantic context conveyed in textual inputs and data information embedded in plain charts. The method is generic for both foreground and background pictorial generation, satisfying the design practices identified from an empirical research into existing pictorial visualizations. We further develop an interactive visual interface that integrates a text analyzer, editing module, and evaluation module to enable users to generate, modify, and assess pictorial visualizations. We experimentally demonstrate the usability of our tool, and conclude with a discussion of the potential of using text-to-image generative model combined with interactive interface for visualization design.

  We introduce a novel diffusion-based framework to enhance the alignment of generated images with their corresponding descriptions. Our framework is built upon a comprehensive analysis of inconsistency phenomena, categorizing them based on their manifestation in the image. We then integrate a state-of-the-art controllable image generation model with a visual text generation module to generate an image that is consistent with the original prompt.

  News Image Captioning requires describing an image by leveraging additional context from a news article. We propose to use the pre-trained vision and language retrieval model CLIP to localize the visually grounded entities in the news article. Our experiments demonstrate that by simply selecting a better context from the article, we can significantly improve the performance of existing models.

During generation, the model further incorporates visual relationships using multi-task learning for jointly predicting word and object/predicate tag sequences.
