Interpolating GANs to Scaffold Autotelic Creativity

Understand

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.
