Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and other techniques for training a generative adversarial network (GAN) to perform an image-to-image transformation for recognizing text. A pair of training images are provided to the GAN. The pair of training images include a training image containing a set of characters in handwritten form and a reference training image containing the set of characters in machine-recognizable form. The GAN includes a generator and a discriminator. The generated image is generated using the generator based on the training image. Update data is generated using the discriminator based on the generated image and the reference training image. The GAN is trained by modifying one or both of the generator and the discriminator using the update data.
