絵本の対話型生成支援システム

抄録

In this paper, we propose an interactive support system for generating picture books. The proposed system consists of two parts: a sentence generation part and a picture book image generation part. The sentence generation part takes a topic and an opening sentence of a picture book as inputs, and generates sentences of the picture book in an interactive manner. The user can select the most appropriate sentence from the generated sentences to create a story for the picture book, and can modify specific parts of the sentences. The image generation part generates a background image of the picture book using the text as an input, and acquires the necessary image objects for the picture book from the web. Using the retrieved images, the user can paste the image objects into the background image to create a picture book image. With these two parts, a picture book can be created without the user having to directly write the text and pictures. Through evaluation experiments, we confirmed that the proposed system can generate a picture book that is comfortable as a story and that can arouse the reader’s interest.
