Text Style Transfer - Generate New Fonts

Inspiration

I lacked the artistic skill when I was doing my art project on calligraphy

What it does

Generate new font

How I built it

Writing a variational autoencoder in keras and train it using apple's font library. Then building a pygame front end to demonstrate it

Challenges I ran into

Variational autoencoder requires a complicated loss function to do back propagation right

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Finish the project in time and generating interesting fonts

What I learned

How to build a variational autoencoder

What's next for Text Style Transfer - Generate New Fonts

Building a larger network to train on larger datasets

Built With

• keras
• pygame
• python
• tensorflow
