Abstract

The work aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the literature on artificial intelligence in the field of visual design and reveal research hotspots and the evolution of topics, providing important academic references and practical guidance for understanding the technological progress and future development trends in this field. The LDA (latent Delicacy Area) topic modelling algorithm was combined with the fine-grained named entity recognition method of the TexSmart system to improve the quality of the modelled topics. Then, an in-depth topic modelling and evolution analysis of the research literature on AI in the field of visual design for the period of 2002-2024 was carried out through visualization techniques. The study utilized the Web of Science database to acquire a large amount of literature data through a well-designed search formula, and provided high-quality inputs for the LDA analysis through rigorous data cleaning and preprocessing steps. The results revealed six major hotspots in the research of artificial intelligence in the field of visual design: image recognition and classification, generative adversarial networks (GANs), 3D vision and reconstruction, diffusion models, visual language models (VLMs) and dynamic and interactive design. The study further analyses the evolutionary trend of the research topics over time through the LDA method, and clarifies that the research topics of AI in the field of visual design have experienced a shift from a single statistical learning to a combination with multiple cutting-edge fields.
