Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for generating one or more emoticons for one or more users with respect to one or more fictional characters, the apparatus comprising:
a plurality of discriminators configured to:
receive a first image generated by a multiple localized discriminator (MLD) generative adversarial network (GAN) based on a set of features from multiple sets of features associated with the one or more fictional characters, resulting in generation of an output value associated with each of the plurality of discriminators, and
determine a weight associated with each of the plurality of discriminators based on a distance between each discriminator and the set of features;

at least one processor configured to generate, using a pre-trained info graph, an image info-graph associated with the first image generated by the MLD GAN upon receiving the first image;
calculate a relevance associated with each of the plurality of discriminators based on the image info-graph, the set of features and the distance; and
the MLD GAN configured to:
generate a plurality of images representing a plurality of emoticons associated with the one or more fictional characters based on each of the multiple sets of features, and
generate the one or more emoticons by styling one or more user images with respect to one or more images selected from the plurality of images, and one or more user inputs.
