Understanding how artworks are created requires reasoning about the iterative decisions, material operations, and contextual influences that shape artistic production. While recent generative AI systems can synthesize artworks with high fidelity, they primarily model distributions over finished artifacts rather than the creative processes underlying their creation.
arXiv:2606. 26299v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While generative AI has achieved remarkable success in solving problems with verifiable solutions, generating physical art that satisfies both strict geometric constraints and subjective visual aesthetics remains a challenge.

Image outpainting extends an image beyond its original borders, requiring seamless style integration and globally coherent scene completion. Building on the success of diffusion models, recent methods have achieved substantial improvements in visual quality.
arXiv:2608. 14172v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-image diffusion models have two major drawbacks that severely limit their practical utility: (1) standard models lack an intrinsic mechanism for continuous, concept-specific guidance (e.

Artistic image synthesis aims to recreate the expressive visual identity of a target artist, yet existing methods often fail to capture an artist's global style. Conventional style transfer methods transfer the style of one or a few reference artworks to a content image in a One-to-One manner, making them effective for artwork-level stylization but limited in representing the broader stylistic distribution of an artist.
arXiv:2608. 05026v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-quality annotation of artworks is essential for computational art research, yet extracting implicit semantics remains challenging due to the reliance on culturally grounded meanings and deep contextual knowledge behind the images.

The demand for image manipulation has seen a significant increase recently. Traditional tools like Photoshop and Capture One, while powerful, require considerable expertise to use effectively.
arXiv:2606. 31699v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have recently been proposed as interpretable tools for concept-level manipulation, under the assumption that isolated features can serve as controllable intervention points.

arXiv:2607. 02563v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based text-to-image models can synthesize complex and highly structured visual content, yet the emergence and evolution of semantic structure remain difficult to interpret.

AI agents that generate final answers based on user input often do not meet the needs of creative fields. Fields such as structural design and architecture need interactive systems that help users externalise and develop ideas, explore alternatives, and refine partial solutions.
