Abstract

A person can hardly write a totally same handwriting character, more or less, there will be some tiny difference between each character. Usually, we use a neural network to generate handwriting characters, but each time we want this model to output a character, it will always the totally same. To solve this tiny different problem, we use a special neural network called DCGANs (deep convolutional generative adversarial networks). Experiments show that our method achieves good performance.
