• Abstract: Controllable layout generation refers to the process of creating a plausible visual arrangement of elements within a graphic design (e.g., document and web designs) with constraints representing design intentions. Although recent diffusion-based models have achieved state-of-the-art FID scores, they tend to exhibit more pronounced misalignment compared to earlier transformer-based models. In this work, we propose the $\textbf{LA}$yout $\textbf{C}$onstraint diffusion mod$\textbf{E}$l (LACE), a unified model to handle a broad range of layout generation tasks, such as arranging elements with specified attributes and refining or completing a coarse layout design. The model is based on continuous diffusion models. Compared with existing methods that use discrete diffusion models, continuous state-space design can enable the incorporation of differentiable aesthetic constraint functions in training. For conditional generation, we introduce conditions via masked input. Extensive experiment results show that LACE produces high-quality layouts and outperforms existing state-of-the-art baselines.

  We introduce a framework that balances content and graphic features to generate high-quality, visually appealing layouts. Specifically, we design an adaptive factor that optimize the model's awareness of the layout generation space. We also introduce a graphic condition, the saliency bounding box, to bridge the modality difference between images in the visual domain and layouts in the geometric parameter domain.

  We present a novel generative model named LayoutDiffusion for automatic layout generation. It learns to reverse a mild forward process, in which layouts become increasingly chaotic with the growth of forward steps. It enables two conditional layout generation tasks in a plug-and-play manner without re-training and achieves better performance than existing methods.

  Controllable layout generation aims at synthesizing plausible arrangement of element bounding boxes with optional constraints. In this work, we try to solve a broad range of layout generation tasks in a single model that is based on discrete state-space diffusion models. Our model, named LayoutDM, naturally handles the structured layout data in the discrete representation and learns to progressively infer a noiseless layout from the initial input.

  It is a crucial task for reducing the burden on heavy-duty graphic design works for formatted scenes, e.g., publications, documents, and user interfaces (UIs) We propose a layout Diffusion Generative Model (LDGM) to achieve such unification with a single decoupled diffusion model. Our proposed LDGM can generate layouts either from scratch or conditional on arbitrary available attributes.

  We generate graphic layouts that can flexibly incorporate design semantics, either specified implicitly or explicitly by a user. Our approach builds on a generative layout model based on a Transformer architecture, and formulates the layout generation as a constrained optimization problem. We show in the experiments that our approach is capable of generating realistic layouts in both constrained and unconstrained generation tasks with a single model.
