Abstract: a generative model can be used for generation of spatial layouts and graphs. such a model can progressively grow these layouts and graphs based on local statistics, where nodes can represent spatial control points of the layout, and edges can represent segments or paths between nodes, such as may correspond to road segments. a generative model can utilize an encoder-decoder architecture where the encoder is a recurrent neural network (rnn) that encodes local incoming paths into a node and the decoder is another rnn that generates outgoing nodes and edges connecting an existing node to the newly generated nodes. generation is done iteratively, and can finish once all nodes are visited or another end condition is satisfied. such a model can generate layouts by additionally conditioning on a set of attributes, giving control to a user in generating the layout.

Abstract: approaches presented herein are directed to generating synthetic images with one or more augmentations realistically added to objects in the images, while ensuring the preservation and integrity of semantic or contextual information within the image. a synthetic augmentation system may identify and extract foreground image data (e.g., text), and a version of the image with the foreground image data removed can be processed by a generative diffusion model. one or more inputs can be provided to specify aspects such as a type or strength of augmentation to be performed. after an augmented image is generated using the generative diffusion model, the previously removed text can be blended back into the image. a synthetic augmentation system may use one or more blending weights for the text, such as a defect blending weight and a letter blending weight. the final result is a synthetic image with added realistic augmentations that preserves the semantic content.
