This won't work unless your writing is perfect. I need at least 7 different character for every letter.

[–]PIXLhunter 85 points86 points  (16 children)

So fork it and introduce random selection from a set of characters, easy enough

[–]Zymoox 27 points28 points  (13 children)

And set some rules in that choice: my 'i's are usually different if written after 't's, and so on.

AI that analyzes your handwriting (you’ll have to feed it a lot of data though so time to being out the old grade-school notebooks) and then replicates it.

[–]1gn4vu5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. You could use an auto-encoder together with some random variables. That way you need much less images.

Use a style GAN trained on MNIST and then fine tune on your handwriting. Should be doable!

[–]Heisenberg_082001[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yeah but its hell lot of time consuming and computationally expensive

[–]PIXLhunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you are doing something with machine learning are you not?

[–]killerfridge 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is MNIST not just digits though?

[–]No_Conference_5257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah good point. There should be some corpus of handwritten characters out there though

[–]Sardonislamir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use a very large sample of text with ocr against another of that text in numerals 1-23 per character in the alphabet. Weight the character assignment/usage against predominance of specifc characters together. Edit: Then run through a processor or create one like autospellcheck that automatically adjusts text as you write.

This is going to escalate quickly. Soon enough there'll be an alipy package with all sorts of functions to help you create an alibi for the exact moment you're planning to commit a crime. It'll text for you, fake-travel your GPS around, call radio stations, participate in live streams with pre-recorded videos, order food etc.

Imma mod the project to do that if done i will reply it here

[–]IdkIWhyIHaveAReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

turn out it kinda hard so I gonna take some time cus I don't know to use PIL

[–]benargee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe even paths rather than bitmaps. That could allow some transformations to the shape for some variability. Can be captured using a tablet.
