It would be interesting to pass all those fonts trough a neural network so a GAN try to generate some new ones

- gwern 7y agoIn a sense, any GAN which generates fonts, like https://twitter.com/kikko_fr/status/1095603397179396098 https://twitter.com/kikko_fr/status/1095603397179396098 or http://www.machinelearningfont.com/ http://www.machinelearningfont.com/ or https://medium.com/@robert.munro/creating-new-scripts-with-stylegan-c16473a50fd0 https://medium.com/@robert.munro/creating-new-scripts-with-s... , is already generating bitmap fonts, because the generator is upscaling through multiple resolutions. If you want the 'bitmap' version, you'd just grab the 32px layer output etc. But the pixel art I've seen from GANs hasn't been too good. I think it's ultimately because it's very impoverished a representation and pixel art relies heavily on us already knowing what we might be looking at, and a GAN doesn't know that. Imagine trying to learn to generate Pokemon when there's only a few hundred examples of them and you've never seen any of the millions of plant or animal species they are based off of?
- atum47 7y agoI'm doing some experiments with GAN. I think I'm halfway done. I don't want to talk much about it now, cause I'm afraid of failure, but... if things goes well, I'm might post something interesting here this weekend.
