arxiv preprint - Graphic Design with Large Multimodal Model

In this episode, we discuss Graphic Design with Large Multimodal Model by Yutao Cheng, Zhao Zhang, Maoke Yang, Hui Nie, Chunyuan Li, Xinglong Wu, Jie Shao. The paper introduces Hierarchical Layout Generation (HLG) for graphic design, which creates compositions from unordered sets of design elements, addressing limitations of the existing Graphic Layout Generation (GLG). The authors develop Graphist, a novel layout generation model that uses large multimodal models to translate RGB-A images into a JSON draft protocol specifying the design layout's details. Graphist demonstrates superior performance compared to prior models and establishes a new baseline for HLG, complemented by the introduction of multiple evaluation metrics.
