Mitigating Domain Shift in Conditioned Floor Plan Generation: Synthetic Pre-training for Data-Efficient Adaptation

The paper investigates how conditioned floor plan generation models perform when applied to datasets from different regions, revealing significant performance drops due to domain shift. To address this, the authors create a large synthetic training set that enforces physical constraints while deliberately reducing architectural realism, and show that pre‑training on this data boosts zero‑shot cross‑domain performance and speeds up fine‑tuning in low‑data scenarios.

PlanCraft: Sketch, Refine, and Furnish for Architect-Inspired Progressive 3D Residential Scene Generation

PlanCraft introduces a progressive approach to 3D residential scene generation that mirrors how architects design: starting with rough sketches and refining them over time. It leverages a large dataset of real floor plans to train a SketchPlan module that generates partial sketches at various completion levels, a PlanCraft‑Diff module that sharpens these sketches into precise vector floor plans, and a PlanCraft‑Agent that furnishes rooms within the established spatial contract. The method outperforms existing 2D and 3D baselines, achieving a 61.1% lower FID and a 15‑point lead in expert‑rated spatial rationality, even with only 25% sketch completion.

A Framework for Low-Effort Training Data Generation for Urban Semantic Segmentation

The paper introduces a framework that adapts a diffusion model to a target urban domain using only imperfect pseudo‑labels, enabling the generation of high‑fidelity, target‑aligned images from semantic maps of any synthetic dataset. By filtering poor generations, correcting image‑label misalignments, and standardising semantics, the method transforms low‑effort synthetic data into competitive real‑domain training sets. Experiments on five synthetic and two real datasets show up to +8.0 %pt mIoU improvement over state‑of‑the‑art translation methods, demonstrating that rapidly constructed synthetic datasets can match the performance of high‑effort, manually designed ones.

GFLAN: Generative Functional Layouts
