LoRA-Based Pattern Generation for Yi Ethnic Embroidery Heritage Preservation

Alive Yi 2.0 combines cultural heritage, design innovation, and artificial intelligence (AI) to preserve and reimagine Yi minority embroidery patterns. Using a curated database of traditional Yi embroidery patterns, we implemented LoRA-based AI models to generate new designs that maintain cultural authenticity while enabling contemporary interpretations. This work transforms traditional patterns into modern variations through fine-tuned stable diffusion models, creating designs that respect cultural elements while appealing to younger generations. Our approach demonstrates the potential of AI-assisted design in cultural heritage preservation and provides a framework for using computational creativity to revitalize traditional heritage in the digital era.
