Frame layout determination with IGE for an automatic comic generation system

We propose a frame layout determination method for an automatic comic generation system. Most previous work applied simple frame layouts or did not consider user preferences. In this work, we divide frame-layout types into four patterns and introduce interactive grammatical evolution (IGE) for coping with user preferences. We also verify if the proposed method can generate a comic with a high IGA fitness value from a user experience at a museum in Second Life, one of the most popular metaverses.
