Typography-MNIST (TMNIST): an MNIST-Style Image Dataset to Categorize Glyphs and Font-Styles [PDF]
We present Typography-MNIST (TMNIST), a dataset comprising of 565,292 MNIST-style grayscale images representing 1,812 unique glyphs in varied styles of 1,355 Google-fonts. The glyph-list contains common characters from over 150 of the modern and historical language scripts with symbol sets, and each font-style represents varying subsets of the total ...

Chinese Typography Transfer [PDF]
In this paper, we propose a new network architecture for Chinese typography transformation based on deep learning. The architecture consists of two sub-networks: (1)a fully convolutional network(FCN) aiming at transferring specified typography style to another in condition of preserving structure information; (2)an adversarial network aiming at ...

Using Computational Approaches in Visual Identity Design: A Visual Identity for the Design and Multimedia Courses of Faculty of Sciences and Technology of University of Coimbra [PDF]
Computational approaches are beginning to be used to design dynamic visual identities fuelled by data and generative processes. In this work, we explore these computational approaches in order to generate a visual identity that creates bespoke letterings and images.

Awesome Typography: Statistics-Based Text Effects Transfer [PDF]
In this work, we explore the problem of generating fantastic special-effects for the typography. It is quite challenging due to the model diversities to illustrate varied text effects for different characters. To address this issue, our key idea is to exploit the analytics on the high regularity of the spatial distribution for text effects to guide the

Unsupervised Typography Transfer [PDF]
Traditional methods in Chinese typography synthesis view characters as an assembly of radicals and strokes, but they rely on manual definition of the key points, which is still time-costing. Some recent work on computer vision proposes a brand new approach: to treat every Chinese character as an independent and inseparable image, so the pre-processing ...

Observations of spatial and velocity structure in the Orion Molecular Cloud [PDF]
Observations are reported of H2 IR emission in the S(1) v=1-0 line at 2.121 microns in the Orion Molecular Cloud, OMC1, using the GriF instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. GriF is a combination of adaptive optics and Fabry-Perot interferometry, yielding a spatial resolution of 0.15" to 0.18" and a velocity discrimination as high as 1 km/s.

Intelligent Artistic Typography: A Comprehensive Review of Artistic Text Design and Generation [PDF]
Artistic text generation aims to amplify the aesthetic qualities of text while maintaining readability. It can make the text more attractive and better convey its expression, thus enjoying a wide range of application scenarios such as social media display, consumer electronics, fashion, and graphic design.

Burchnall-Chaundy theory for Ore extensions [PDF]
We begin by reviewing a classical result on the algebraic dependence of commuting elements in Weyl algebras. We proceed by describing generalizations of this result to various classes of Ore extensions, both results that have already been published and a new result.

VitaGlyph: Vitalizing Artistic Typography with Flexible Dual-branch Diffusion Models [PDF]
Artistic typography is a technique to visualize the meaning of input character in an imaginable and readable manner. With powerful text-to-image diffusion models, existing methods directly design the overall geometry and texture of input character, making it challenging to ensure both creativity and legibility. In this paper, we introduce a dual-branch

Trick or TReAT: Thematic Reinforcement for Artistic Typography [PDF]
An approach to make text visually appealing and memorable is semantic reinforcement - the use of visual cues alluding to the context or theme in which the word is being used to reinforce the message (e.g., Google Doodles). We present a computational approach for semantic reinforcement called TReAT - Thematic Reinforcement for Artistic Typography. Given
