Gaudí: Conversational Interactions with Deep Representations to Generate Image Collections

Gaudí was developed to help designers search for inspirational images using natural language. In the early stages of the design process, designers will typically create thematic image collections called “mood-boards” in order to elicit and clarify a client’s preferred creative direction. Creating a mood-board involves sequential image searches which are currently performed using keywords or images. Gaudí transforms this process into a conversation where the user is gradually detailing the mood-board’s theme. This representation allows our AI to generate new search queries from scratch, straight from a project’s briefing, following a hypothesized mood.
