• Abstract summary: We propose a transformer-based styled handwritten text image generation approach, HWT, that strives to learn both style-content entanglement and global and local writing style patterns. The proposed HWT captures the long and short range relationships within the style examples through a self-attention mechanism. Our proposed HWT generates realistic styled handwritten text images and significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art demonstrated.

• Abstract: We propose a novel transformer-based styled handwritten text image generation approach, HWT, that strives to learn both style-content entanglement as well as global and local writing style patterns. The proposed HWT captures the long and short range relationships within the style examples through a self-attention mechanism, thereby encoding both global and local style patterns. Further, the proposed transformer-based HWT comprises an encoder-decoder attention that enables style-content entanglement by gathering the style representation of each query character. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to introduce a transformer-based generative network for styled handwritten text generation. Our proposed HWT generates realistic styled handwritten text images and significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art demonstrated through extensive qualitative, quantitative and human-based evaluations. The proposed HWT can handle arbitrary length of text and any desired writing style in a few-shot setting. Further, our HWT generalizes well to the challenging scenario where both words and writing style are unseen during training, generating realistic styled handwritten text images.

  We introduce a novel task of Multimodal Style Translation (MuST-Bench) MuST-Bench is a benchmark designed to evaluate the ability of visual text generation models to perform translation across different writing systems. In response, we introduce SIGIL, a framework for multimodal style translation that eliminates the need for style descriptions.

  StyleCrafter is a generic method that enhances pre-trained T2V models with a style control adapter. To promote content-style disentanglement, we remove style descriptions from the text prompt and extract style information solely from the reference image. StyleCrafter efficiently generates high-quality stylized videos that align with the content of the texts and resemble the style of the reference images.

  Textual style transfer is the task of transforming stylistic properties of text while preserving meaning. We introduce a novel diffusion-based framework for general-purpose style transfer that can be flexibly adapted to arbitrary target styles. We validate the method on the Enron Email Corpus, with both human and automatic evaluations, and find that it outperforms strong baselines on formality, sentiment, and even authorship style transfer.
