Research Abstract
Text and its component characters are one of the most important media for our intellectual activity and communication. In this project, we will establish new research field, called “text science”. Its purpose is to fully understand multiple functions of text and characters, which are not analyzed in past researches. Specifically, we analyzed the following four functions objectively with a large amount of real data: disambiguation of scene context, ubiquitous message transmission, nonverbal impression expression by font design, and legibility against distortion. For all of those functions, this project have achieved many research outcomes, which are mainly realized by various machine learning technologies, including deep learning. For example, we found the relationship between the font style and its impressions by using a large dataset and part-based analysis with neural network.
