Generative models that apply deep learning to the generation of contents such as images and sound are attracting attention. However, generative process using deep learning is a black box, which makes it difficult for humans to understand and control. In this talk, I will introduce methods for human intervention and control of such generative processes and other computer-assisted content generation systems. I will show examples in computer-aided design using physical simulation, generative models of images, 3D models, and acoustic signals.
