FocusGen：利用模拟人物代理焦点小组扩展视觉设计探索

AI 摘要
FocusGen 是一个交互式系统，通过模拟人物代理的“虚拟焦点小组”为视觉设计探索引入外部视角。与以往将代理作为批评者汇聚于单一作品的方法不同，FocusGen 将人物角色作为并行生成器，每个代理独立驱动迭代生成循环，将设计简报转化为多种受众条件方向。评估表明，迭代细化循环优于零样本生成，人物角色条件化比通用助手基线产生更高的视觉多样性，且开放式偏好访谈比结构化访谈产生更多样化的输出。一项针对 16 位创意专业人士的定性研究显示，FocusGen 有助于设计师发现未预期的方向、克服思维定势并探索受众背景，但也存在刻板印象风险。

FocusGen: Expanding Visual Design Exploration with a Simulated Focus Group of Persona Agents Abstract. Creative professionals rarely design for themselves—they design for audiences whose preferences they must anticipate. Yet current text-to-image exploration tools derive diversity entirely from the designer’s own input—their prompts, their chosen dimensions, their search queries—confining exploration to what the designer already knows to look for. We present FocusGen, an interactive system that
