Bo Yang

I am a third-year Master student at ShanghaiTech University, advised by Prof. Ying Cao, expected to complete the degree this summer. I graduated from ShanghaiTech University with Bachelor's degree in 2022.

My research interests lie at the intersection of computer graphics, computer vision, and human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on generative models. Currently, my research focuses on graphic design generation.

    Order Matters: Learning Element Ordering for Graphic Design Generation

    We propose a Generative Order Learner (GOL) that optimizes element ordering for graphic design generation. Our approach learns a content-aware neural order, which can significantly improve graphic generation quality, generalize across different types of generative models and help design generators scale up greatly.
