Ahe Thd Yearidy Ti Isa (asemic GAN-generated novel) #144

I trained a suite of GANs on bitmaps of words and used them to generate an asemic novel comprised of 50k word-like things. Source code for generating the novel, source code for training the GANs.

The novel is entitled Ahe Thd Yearidy Ti Isa (after an OCR algorithm's reading of the title page) and is available both as a ~100 MB PDF or as an online image gallery.

I also generated a separate book of interpolations through the latent space of one of the GAN models I trained. This isn't 50k words long, but I thought it looked nice, so I'll share it here as well: ~18MB PDF or image gallery.
