  • Publication number: 20220277502
    Abstract: A flexible data editing scheme to change and modify an intermediate representation or conditional information for a portion of to-be-edited data is disclosed. One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a data editing apparatus, comprising: one or more memories; and one or more processors configured to receive a change indication to change at least a first data area of first data; generate second data by using one or more generative models and an intermediate representation for the first data area; and replace the first data area of the first data with the second data to generate third data.

  • Patent number: 11288845
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire target image data to be subjected to coloring, designate an area to be subjected to coloring by using reference information in the target image data, determine reference information to be used for the designated area, and perform a coloring process on the designated area by using the determined reference information, based on a learned model for coloring which has been previously learned in the coloring process using the reference information.
