Random Sampling From Latent Space

[ZloyTapok987]

Hi! Can you share code for Random Sampling From Latent Space experiment?

[ZloyTapok987]

I'm trying to sample new font via random latent space with this code: https://pastebin.com/m8vyYpXx
But it doesn't work, svg images don't looks like glyphs :(
What I'm doing wrong

?

Hi Zloy！
Thanks for your questions!
Yes, I re-ran my codes and also met your problem. However, I found font-interpolation works well.
Then, I checked my TensorFlow codes (which were used to produce the results in my paper.)
I find kl_beta was set to 0.1 in my TF codes. I think this could be the reason.
I'm busy with my thesis recently and I will try to re-run my Pytorch code with kl_beta=0.1 (or find some other reasons).
It would be appreciated if you help to check if set kl_beta=0.1 works (maybe some other weights need to be finetuned accordingly).
Thank you!

Hi! I am also facing the same issue. Did changing the KL beta weight work for random font generation?

kl_beta=0.1

Hi Cravis,
Yes, kl_beta=0.1 works for random font generation.
I also noticed that kl_beta=0.01 results in better reconstruction than kl_beta=0.1.
So I think it is a kind of tradeoff and I will upload a checkpoint of kl_beta=0.1.
