# Font2Font 

#### Yun-Chen Lo, Yi-Ren Chen, Jerry Zhang Jian (NTHU EE)

An enhanced zi2zi project [[1]](https://github.com/kaonashi-tyc/zi2zi) with word-oriented data augmentation, feature combination, and transfer learning. 

This repo is based on zi2zi project with incremental boost inspired on recent research and our observation on Chinese Characters.
