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.

The paper introduces ViralRecipesTrans, a dataset of execution flow graphs from culinary videos linked to specific creators, and proposes a graph learning framework to discover procedural personas. It shows that discrete topological metrics better capture a creator’s workflow than lexical classifiers, and presents a two‑stage generative model that predicts a creator’s exact execution graph for new dishes. The study finds that few‑shot LLMs excel at semantic assignment but lack macro‑planning, while the structured model offers superior topological control, and an ensemble approach combines both strengths for personalized workflow generation.

MOONWALK is a pre‑production review system for animation and VFX that aligns creative intent, evidence, and action across junior‑supervisor workflows. It records shared intent, anchors judgments to evidence, and translates decisions into clear revision tasks tied to reference notes, with AI handling administrative coordination. A studio study shows that MOONWALK improves intent alignment, decision traceability, and checklist executability compared to a chat‑only interface, while keeping aesthetic authority with practitioners.
