Computers Can Now Replicate Handwriting

[jos]

Graves' research suggests that by predicting one data point at a time, a Long Short-Term Memory recurrent neural network can be used to replicate complex sequences. To demonstrate this idea, he chose handwriting synthesis, and he created a tool to show this in action. Using a set of writing examples from different people, his program is able to recreate any phrase in the selected style of writing. The results aren't perfect, but they are surprisingly accurate.

doubt they can replicate mine, my handwriting is too shit and all over the place to replicate

Right?  At this point I just want to carry around a wax-stamp so people know when it is me.  Better typist than anything else.

Pretty sure mine's worse. At this point I think people can just tell it's me by how messy and dull the writing is since clearly the actual context requires a Rosetta stone to decipher.

the most common comment i get when people see my hand writing is, you should be a doctor

[ICantThinkOfAnyGoodName]

Well, I proudly have the reputation as having the worst handwriting in my entire school, so I doubt it could replicate mine. Heck, my handwriting is so bad that I often can't even read it myself.
