Ok, one major tip: natural hand writing is in fact a 3D action not just 2D, meaning that the writer exerts higher and lower pressure vertical to the paper surface as they write, which results in the pen line becoming thinner and thicker at different sections of a letter!

just a tip when using neural networks. In the video, I noticed after every bug you fixed, the editing at least made it look like you spent ~50 hours training the RNN again.

I feel like, in this case, a forensic handwriting expert being able to make a profile for your handwriting bot is a feature, not a bug. After all, you're *not* trying to make 20,000 unique sets of handwriting, you are trying to make *one* set of handwriting that is consistent across 20,000 use instances. And if he sees enough shared characteristics between the different pieces of writing to work out a profile, that means they are identifiable as having been written by the same person (or, I guess, robot). Which means that you succeeded in creating a unique and consistent handwriting style

There's two reasons why investing a lot of time to gain small benefits: - If you repeat the task, there will come one point where your work amortizes itself - You probably invest all the time (i.e. 12 hours for 10 minutes faster tasks) at a point where you have it available and you also have fun with it. I've done the same for my collagues with some forms - they may only save a couple of minutes but we all get done faster and have less repetitive tasks since they're done automatically.

One of my family member is graphologist. She told me that the pressure you put on each letter with your pen is also examined (showing how much emotion you put on some words) So if you're only looking at the 2D-shape of your letters, you're missing something.

@bryang2280 10 місяців тому
The interesting part about that he can implement that into the machine with the suction function. By adding the amount of suction to each specific word or letter at least 50% of the words wouldn't have the same pressure due to the change of suction for each words and since the care isn't rigid there would be tiny (I assume only noticeable under investigation) changes. It's a crazy thing he has built
@orangenostril 10 місяців тому
@@bryang2280 Honestly I think you could just have the writing machine itself do it. It already can lift and push down the pen (since that's how it works lol) so I don't see why you couldn't just have it push down when writing certain lines more than others

To me, the main danger from forgeries is in faking signatures on documents. I'll bet the pressure points of my signature are recognizable to an expert, (from their depth and spacing on the paper, not necessarily from ink flow), no matter how sloppily I sign it. I sincerely hope you don't explore copying signatures too deeply! I've watched a number of your videos. You tackle some amazingly difficult projects, and with a lot of humor, too! I love the way your wife keeps you humble. I'm sometimes reminded of old "Honeymooners" episodes, where Alice Kramden raises an eyebrow at Ralph's latest "crazy scheme."

Omg, your segment on debugging machine learning programs was so depressingly accurate. Training something for hours, checking the predictions, and getting complete nonsense. Just to learn that you did something dumb somewhere (like maybe you used a '-' instead of a '+' somewhere). Then train again, and repeat until either you get it working, or you give up on life. Though of note: it is important to monitor NN training. Looking at loss, accuracy, and any other metric while you are training. Also training on smaller datasets first to iron out bugs so that you don't waste as much time.
