    Creating high-quality scientific figures can be time-consuming and challenging, even though sketching ideas on paper is relatively easy. Furthermore, recreating existing figures that are not stored in formats preserving semantic information is equally complex. To tackle this problem, we introduce DeTikZify, a novel multimodal language model that automatically synthesizes scientific figures as semantics-preserving TikZ graphics programs based on sketches and existing figures. We also introduce a Monte Carlo Tree Search-based inference algorithm that enables DeTikZify to iteratively refine its…

    Hey HN, I built a web tool that wraps the latest AI image generation models with a conversational interface. The main idea is you can iterate on images through natural dialogue instead of rewriting prompts from scratch each time. Key features I focused on: - Multi-turn editing (the AI remembers previous context) - Character/style consistency across multiple images - Multi-image fusion Not affiliated with OpenAI – the name is just a playful nod. Would love feedback from this community, especially on the UX and what features would be useful for technical users. Try it:…

    Hi I am looking for some feedback on our new project "Sketch Colourisation". The envisioned UI and objectives are -- * An artist should have greater control on how to colour a sketch. While a text-to-image model lacks this fine-grained control, a per-pixel colourisation pipeline makes sketch colourisation a laborious process with high-entry barrier. * What if an artist only draws a mask for a local region and specifies the colour palette for that local region? Then a neural network figures out how to colour the overall sketch -- while maintaining those local colour palette. [I would really…
