Summary
This study introduces a new text-guided image editing method for social media. It generates multiple edits and uses a predictive model to select the most engaging image, enhancing audience attention.
Area of Science:
- Computer Vision
- Natural Language Processing
- Artificial Intelligence
Background:
- Text-guided image editing enables image modification based on textual descriptions.
- Current methods produce varied results based on prompt phrasing, requiring user selection.
- Social media sharing necessitates edited images that capture audience attention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel text-guided image editing method optimized for social media engagement.
- To develop a system that automatically selects the most attention-grabbing edited image for social media platforms.
Main Methods:
- Utilized pre-trained text-guided image editing models to generate multiple edited images from various text prompts.
- Employed a large language model to create diverse text prompts for image editing.
- Developed and integrated a novel model to predict social media engagement scores for edited images.
Main Results:
- The proposed method generates edited images that accurately reflect the input text prompts.
- The system successfully identifies and selects images predicted to achieve higher audience engagement on social media.
- Experimental results on real Instagram data show a positive impression and improved attention compared to existing methods.
Conclusions:
- The novel approach enhances text-guided image editing for social media by prioritizing audience engagement.
- This method offers a practical solution for users aiming to maximize the impact of edited images online.
- The integration of engagement prediction advances the application of AI in content creation and social media strategy.
