Interleaving GANs with knowledge graphs to support design creativity for book covers

원문 초록

An attractive book cover is important for the success of a book. In this paper, we apply Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to the book covers domain, using different methods for training in order to obtain better generated images. We interleave GANs with knowledge graphs to alter the input title to obtain multiple possible options for any given title, which are then used as an augmented input to the generator. Finally, we use the discriminator obtained during the training phase to select the best images generated with new titles. Our method performed better at generating book covers than previous attempts, and the knowledge graph gives better options to the book author or editor compared to using GANs alone.
