In this paper, we demonstrate a total disentanglement of font images. Total disentanglement is a neural network-based method for completely decomposing each font image into its style and content (i.e., character class) features. It uses a simple but careful training procedure to extract the common style feature from all ‘A’–‘Z’ images in the same font and the common content feature from all ‘A’ (or another class) images in different fonts.

摘要

In this paper, we demonstrate a total disentanglement of font images. Total disentanglement is a neural network-based method for completely decomposing each font image into its style and content (i.e., character class) features. It uses a simple but careful training procedure to extract the common style feature from all ‘A’–‘Z’ images in the same font and the common content feature from all ‘A’ (or another class) images in different fonts. These disentangled features guarantee the reconstruction of the original font image. Various experiments have been conducted to understand the performance of total disentanglement. First, it is demonstrated that total disentanglement is achievable with very high accuracy; this is experimental proof of the long-standing open question, “Does ‘A’ exist?” Hofstadter (1985). Second, it is demonstrated that the disentangled features produced by total disentanglement apply to a variety of tasks, including font recognition, character recognition, and one-shot font image generation.
