LAIF: AI, Deep Learning for Germany Suetterlin Letter Recognition and Generation

One of the successful early implementation of deep learning AI technology was on letter recognition. With the recent breakthrough of AI brings more solid technology for complex problems like handwritten letter recognition and even automatic generation of them. In this research, we proposed deep learning framework called Ludwig AI Framework(LAIF) for Germany Suetterlin letter recognition and generation. To recognize Suetterlin letter, we proposed deep convolutional neural network. Since lack of big amount of data to train for the deep models and huge cost to label existing hard copy of handwritten letters, we also introduce the methodology with deep generative adversarial network to generate handwritten letters as synthetic data.
