Interpolating GANs to Scaffold Autotelic Creativity

The latent space modeled by generative adversarial networks (GANs) represents a large possibility space. By interpolating categories generated by GANs, it is possible to create novel hybrid images.We present "Meet the Ganimals," a casual creator built on interpolations of BigGAN that can generate novel, hybrid animals called ganimals by efficiently searching this possibility space. Like traditional casual creators, the system supports a simple creative flow that encourages rapid exploration of the possibility space. Users can discover new ganimals, create their own, and share their reactions to aesthetic, emotional, and morphological characteristics of the ganimals. As users provide input to the system, the system adapts and changes the distribution of categories upon which ganimals are generated. As one of the first GAN-based casual creators, Meet the Ganimals is an example how casual creators can leverage human curation and citizen science to discover novel artifacts within a large possibility space.

将GAN插值到脚手架自动创造力上

由生成对抗网络（GAN）建模的潜在空间表示很大的可能性空间。通过对GAN生成的类别进行插值，可以创建新颖的混合图像。.. 我们介绍“ Meet the Ganimals”，这是一个休闲的创造者，它基于BigGAN的插值，可以通过有效地搜索这种可能性空间来生成新颖的混合动物，称为ganimals。与传统休闲创作者一样，该系统支持简单的创作流程，鼓励快速探索可能性空间。用户可以发现新的动物，创建自己的动物，并分享他们对动物的美学，情感和形态特征的反应。当用户向系统提供输入时，系统会调整并更改生成数字的类别的分布。作为最早基于GAN的休闲创作者之一，Meet the Ganimals是休闲创作者如何利用人类策展和公民科学在很大的可能性空间内发现新颖文物的一个示例。
