In plain words: A system turns a screenshot of an app or website design straight into code, learning from paired examples so it writes the layout itself. It produced correct code over 77% of the time on iPhone, Android, and web, where people write that code by hand.
Abstract · pix2code: Generating Code from a Graphical User Interface Screenshot
Transforming a graphical user interface screenshot created by a designer into computer code is a typical task conducted by a developer in order to build customized software, websites, and mobile applications. In this paper, we show that deep learning methods can be leveraged to train a model end-to-end to automatically generate code from a single input image with over 77% of accuracy for three different platforms (i.e. iOS, Android and web-based technologies).
