AIを活用した雑誌のレイアウト自動生成システム

抄録

Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. is developing an automatic layout generation system for graphic design magazines utilizing AI methods. In this system, when images or texts are input as the content to be placed in layouts, an appropriate layout is automatically generated in consideration of the content and design. The layout generation process is performed by randomized processing in accordance with a rule set of minimum conditions that must be satisfied for layouts (minimum condition rule set) where a large number of candidates are generated. An evaluation of the appearance, style, design, and composition of candidates is combined with an evaluation of their diversity. Top candidates for the combined evaluation are returned. Automation makes the layout creation task performed by users, such as graphical designers, significantly more efficient. It also allows the user to choose from a wide range of ideas to create attractive layouts. In this article, we introduce the background, mechanism, current performance evaluation results, and future prospects of this system.
