- Abstract: In this study, we introduce StylusAI, a novel architecture leveraging diffusion models in the domain of handwriting style generation. StylusAI is specifically designed to adapt and integrate the stylistic nuances of one language's handwriting into another, particularly focusing on blending English handwriting styles into the context of the German writing system. This approach enables the generation of German text in English handwriting styles and German handwriting styles into English, enriching machine-generated handwriting diversity while ensuring that the generated text remains legible across both languages. To support the development and evaluation of StylusAI, we present the \lq{Deutscher Handschriften-Datensatz}\rq~(DHSD), a comprehensive dataset encompassing 37 distinct handwriting styles within the German language. This dataset provides a fundamental resource for training and benchmarking in the realm of handwritten text generation. Our results demonstrate that StylusAI not only introduces a new method for style adaptation in handwritten text generation but also surpasses existing models in generating handwriting samples that improve both text quality and stylistic fidelity, evidenced by its performance on the IAM database and our newly proposed DHSD. Thus, StylusAI represents a significant advancement in the field of handwriting style generation, offering promising avenues for future research and applications in cross-linguistic style adaptation for languages with similar scripts.

Evaluating Unconstrained Handwriting Image Recognition in Vietnamese [2.8360662552057323]
In Vietnamese, besides the modern Latin characters, there are accent and letter marks together with characters that draw confusion to state-of-the-art handwriting recognition methods.
As a low-resource language, there are not many datasets for researching handwriting recognition in Vietnamese.
Recent works evaluated offline handwriting recognition methods in Vietnamese using images from an online handwriting dataset constructed by connecting pen stroke coordinates without further processing.
This paper proposes the Transferring method to construct a handwriting image dataset that associates crucial natural attributes required for offline handwriting images.

Long texts usually involve more complicated author linguistic preferences such as discourse structures than sentences.
We formulate the task of non-parallel story author-style transfer, which requires transferring an input story into a specified author style.
We use an additional training objective to disentangle stylistic features from the learned discourse representation to prevent the model from degenerating to an auto-encoder.
