• Title: CalliGAN: Style and Structure-aware Chinese Calligraphy Character Generator
• Authors: Shan-Jean Wu, Chih-Yuan Yang and Jane Yung-jen Hsu
• Abstract summary: Chinese calligraphy is the writing of Chinese characters as an art form performed with brushes. Recent studies show that Chinese characters can be generated through image-to-image translation for multiple styles using a single model. We propose a novel method of this approach by incorporating Chinese characters' component information into its model.

• Abstract: Chinese calligraphy is the writing of Chinese characters as an art form performed with brushes so Chinese characters are rich of shapes and details. Recent studies show that Chinese characters can be generated through image-to-image translation for multiple styles using a single model. We propose a novel method of this approach by incorporating Chinese characters' component information into its model. We also propose an improved network to convert characters to their embedding space. Experiments show that the proposed method generates high-quality Chinese calligraphy characters over state-of-the-art methods measured through numerical evaluations and human subject studies.

  We propose MetaScript, a novel content generation system designed to address the diminishing presence of personal handwriting styles in the digital representation of Chinese characters. Our approach harnesses the power of few-shot learning to generate Chinese characters that retain the individual's unique handwriting style and maintain the efficiency of digital typing.

  We propose a two-stage framework for Chinese Text Recognition (CTR) We pre-train a CLIP-like model through aligning printed character images and Ideographic Description Sequences (IDS) This pre-training stage simulates humans recognizing Chinese characters and obtains the canonical representation of each character. The learned representations are employed to supervise the CTR model, such that traditional single-character recognition can be improved to text-line recognition.

  We propose a VQGAN-based framework (i.e., VQ-Font) to enhance glyph fidelity through token prior refinement and structure-aware enhancement. Specifically, we pre-train a VQGAN to encapsulate font token prior within a codebook. Subsequently, VQ-Font refines the synthesized glyphs with the codebook to eliminate the domain gap between synthesized and real-world strokes.

  We introduce CDBERT, a new learning paradigm that enhances the semantics understanding ability of the Chinese PLMs with dictionary knowledge and structure of Chinese characters. We name the two core modules of CDBERT as Shuowen and Jiezi, where Shuowen refers to the process of retrieving the most appropriate meaning from Chinese dictionaries. Our paradigm demonstrates consistent improvements on previous Chinese PLMs across all tasks.

  We study the influences of three main factors on the Chinese tokenization for pretrained language models. We propose three kinds of tokenizers: SHUOWEN (meaning Talk Word), the pronunciation-based tokenizers; 2) JIEZI (meaning Solve Character), the glyph-based tokenizers. We find that SHUOWEN and JIEZI tokenizers can generally outperform conventional single-character tokenizers.
