• Abstract: Recent advances in Generative Adversarial Networks GANs applications continue to attract the attention of researchers in different fields. In such a framework, two neural networks compete adversely to generate new visual contents indistinguishable from the original dataset. The objective of this research is to create a complementary codesign process between humans and machines to augment character designers abilities in visualizing and creating new characters for multimedia projects such as games and animation. Driven by design cognitive scaffolding, the proposed approach aims to inform the process of perceiving, knowing, and making. The machine generated concepts are used as a launching platform for character designers to conceptualize new characters. A labelled dataset of 22,000 characters was developed for this work and deployed using different GANs to evaluate the most suited for the context, followed by mixed methods evaluation for the machine output and human derivations. The discussed results substantiate the value of the proposed cocreation framework and elucidate how the generated concepts are used as cognitive substances that interact with designers competencies in a versatile manner to influence the creative processes of conceptualizing novel characters.

  This study introduces an innovative semantics DISentanglement and COmposition VERsatile (DISCOVER) to simultaneously enhance human-eye perception and machine vision tasks. The approach derives a set of labels per task through multimodal large models, which grounding models are then applied for precise localization, enabling a comprehensive understanding and disentanglement of image components at the encoder side. At the decoding stage, a comprehensive reconstruction of the image is achieved by leveraging these encoded components alongside priors from generative models, thereby optimizing performance for both human visual perception and machine-based analytical tasks.

  Design inspiration is crucial for establishing the direction of a design as well as evoking feelings and conveying meanings during the conceptual design process. Many practice designers use text-based searches on platforms like Pinterest to gather image ideas, followed by sketching on paper or using digital tools to develop concepts. Emerging generative AI techniques, such as diffusion models, offer a promising avenue to streamline these processes by swiftly generating design concepts based on text and image inspiration inputs.

  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) continue to attract the attention of researchers in different fields. Most recent GANs are focused on realism, however, generating hyper-realistic output is not a priority for some domains. We present a comparison between different GAN architectures and their performance when trained from scratch on a new visual characters dataset. We also explore alternative techniques, such as transfer learning and data augmentation, to overcome computational resource limitations.

• 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.

  This paper proposes an automated method, named CreativeGAN, for generating novel designs. It does so by identifying components that make a design unique and modifying a GAN model such that it becomes more likely to generate designs with identified unique components. Using a dataset of bicycle designs, we demonstrate that the method can create new bicycle designs with unique frames and handles, and rare novelties to a broad set of designs.
