Tom Murphy VII uses machine learning and custom fonts to humorously explore letterforms that extend beyond standard uppercase and lowercase boundaries.

I perform an exhaustive case analysis using advanced "derp learning" techniques to discover what's even upperercase than an uppercase A. AND I DON'T STOP THERE. For SIGBOVIK 2021. Fonts, paper with details, etc.: tom7.org/lowercase/

Why it's here

What people say. Recommended as a highly entertaining and technically creative exploration of machine learning applied to typography.

Came here to post this ↑ Tom7's Uppestcase and Lowestcase Letters 1 is one of the most entertaining (and educational) experiences I had lately 1 link to this video

On “Tetris Is Capable of Universal Computation”

link to this video (Uppestcase and Lowestcase Letters advances in derp learning) Is pure gold. I don't wanna spoil it, it just keeps getting better and better as the video progresses. I laughed so hard. If by some freak chance I ever become wealthy, I want to sponsor this sort of research.

I want to observe that one of my favorite youtubers did exactly this with making the "uppest case" and "lowest case" letters. link to this video I love this guy so much and wish he made far more videos.

SIGBOVIK is proud to have published this groundbreaking work in its 2021 proceedings, which were released today. Also, check out the author's video: link to this video For more non-serious research that is often executed seriously, see: link

I assume you're very familiar with Tom7, and in particular his SIGBOVIK submissions, but just in case: Tom7! (Good starting point for anyone who's not: link to this video )

On “Hey, Computer, Make Me a Font”

I found a few months ago that the gpt-4 code interpreter is capable of converting a black and white png of a glyph to an svg link It would be cool to combine a script like the one gpt-4 gave me with an image generation model to generate fonts. The approach from this blog post is way more interesting though. On a separate note it reminds me of this suckerpinch video :) maybe we can finally get uppestcase and lowestcase fonts link to this video

Lots of the AIisms with letters remind me of tom7's SIGBOVIC video Uppestcase and Lowestcase Letters advances in derp learning link to this video
