CLIPVG: Text-Guided Image Manipulation Using Differentiable Vector Graphics

Retrieving Vector Graphics Using Sketches

In this paper we present an approach to allow indexing and retrieving vector graphics by content, using topological and geometric information automatically extracted from figures. The method described retrieves WMF ClipArt files as an instance of the general problem of searching vector drawings. Our prototype can already handle databases with thousands of drawings using commodity hardware. Our ...

Text-Guided Attention Model for Image Captioning

Visual attention plays an important role to understand images and demonstrates its effectiveness in generating natural language descriptions of images. On the other hand, recent studies show that language associated with an image can steer visual attention in the scene during our cognitive process. Inspired by this, we introduce a text-guided attention model for image captioning, which learns t...

Evolving Pop Art Using Scalable Vector Graphics

In this paper we present our findings of our continued investigation into the use of Scalable Vector Graphics as a genotype representation in evolutionary art. In previous work we investigated the feasibility of SVG as a genetic representation for evolutionary art, and found that the representation was very flexible, but that the potential visual output was somewhat limited by the simplicity of...

Using scalable vector graphics to evolve art

In this paper we describe our investigations of the use of Scalable Vector Graphics as a genotype representation in evolutionary art. We describe the technical aspects of using SVG in evolutionary art, and explain the genetic operators mutation and crossover. Furthermore, we compare the use of SVG with existing representations in evolutionary art. We perform two series of experiments and descri...
