Automatically Generating an Alien Alphabet

draft

As part of our "learning machine learning" project, we experimented with GANs to generate images of a certain "type", learning by example as it were.  

In the following example, I used two versions of an uncomplicated font typeface, Luxisans, all capital letters.  One version was monochrome and the other had a noise texture applied as follows:

These images were then rotated, sheared, and modulated in intensity to generate more data.

Here are some of the images it generated.
