InspirationGraph for Progressive Design Space Exploration

Text-to-image (T2I) models demonstrate strong generative capabilities and are increasingly used in design. However, their support for early exploratory ideation remains limited. Their linear, one-shot interaction paradigm aligns more closely with convergent, refinement-oriented stages of design. To address this gap, w…

CoNode: Visualizing Workflows for Knowledge Reuse and Recombination in Team–AI Collaborative Design

In early-stage industrial design, teams generate essential but fragile process knowledge—semantic tags, sketches, exploration paths—that is rarely captured or reused but which may be useful at latter design stages, and AI could be used for this purpose. Yet existing AI creativity tools remain outcome-oriented, offerin…

RPGAgent: Driving Coherent Story-to-Play Generation with an LLM-Based Multi-Agent System

Recent advances in LLMs have enabled new possibilities for creative content generation, yet their use in game design is often limited by poor integration across creative components, particularly for novice designers aiming to rapidly prototype playable concepts. Guided by the Elemental Tetrad framework, we present RPG…

Cultural Erosion or Innovation? Artisans’ Attitudes Toward AI-Generated Patterns in Traditional Chinese Subcultures

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI), particularly text-to-image (T2I) generation tools, presents new possibilities for preserving and innovating traditional cultural patterns. However, AI-generated images often lack cultural context, which risks cultural bias and the loss of cultural significance. This study expl…

Customizable AI for Depression Care: Improving the User Experience of Large Language Model-Driven Chatbots

Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate significant potential in the field of mental health. However, existing chatbots often lack personalized designs, which may limit their ability to fully address the complex needs of users with depression. This study builds upon the previously developed CloudEcho system, a menta…

SkinGEN: an Explainable Dermatology Diagnosis-to-Generation Framework with Interactive Vision-Language Models

With the continuous advancement of vision language models (VLMs) technology, remarkable research achievements have emerged in the dermatology field, the fourth most prevalent human disease category. However, despite these advancements, VLM still faces explainable problems to user in diagnosis due to the inherent compl…

Maintaining "Balanced" Conflict: Proactive Intervention Strategies of AI Voice Agents in Online Collaboration of Temporary Design Teams

Temporary teams are important in modern work but often struggle with interpersonal factors that hinder consensus-driven tasks, especially in design teams where effective discussion and execution are critical. Integrating AI into these teams provides a promising solution. While some studies have explored AI’s role in e…
