Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the context of the digital age, utilizing cutting-edge technology for the digitization and creative expansion of ancient murals is crucial, aimed at preserving and passing on cultural heritage. Existing image outpainting techniques suffer from a lack of semantic guidance. This article introduces MuralAgent, a multimodal model based on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology. It precisely extracts key information from mural images and integrates it with a constructed ancient texts knowledge base to ensure the cultural and semantic consistency of the expanded images. Moreover, fine-tuning the Stable Diffusion model ensures the fidelity of the generated image styles. Specifically, this study involves constructing an ancient texts knowledge base for accurate matching, designing specific prompts for GPT-4V(ision) to extract key information, and innovatively expanding artworks through Stable Diffusion, providing a novel way for the public to reinterpret ancient murals.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
