A group of researchers from Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence in Abu Dhabi developed a new AI tool to imitate human handwriting. Apparently, it just requires a couple of paragraphs to analyze the handwriting and copy it. Previously, generative adversarial method was used to mimic someone's handwriting. Although it worked great, it could not work on the subtle elements of a human handwriting. That's why they followed a vision transformer-based solution to formulate a handwritten text image generation approach. With this, the AI can be trained to accurately capture the essence of each human handwriting.
