UNIVERSITY OF HERTFORDSHIRE COMPUTER SCIENCE RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM presents "Learning from Anatomy of Letterforms and numerals to teach AI/ machines create bi-scriptual typeface for Versatile Purposes " Sahar Khajeh (University of Hertfordshire) 20 March 2024 13:00 -14:00 Room C154 Everyone is Welcome to Attend Abstract: The usability of typefaces in the design context is the main concern for designers of bi-scriptual Latin and Arabic typefaces. The current bi-scriptural Latin-Arabic typefaces in open-access platforms lack readability and visual excellence, leading designers to map Arabic and Latin typefaces using different styles. Our aim is to define the context and its needs, learning from the anatomy of letterforms, branding, and emotional design to teach AI/machines to create corresponding typefaces. This project brings the field of typography and IT closer than ever and can lead to improvements in teaching typographic sensitivities to machines. Biography: I am the Programme Coordinator for the online courses at the School of Creative Arts and Design at UH, besides leading research method modules for Postgraduate degrees. I recently finished my Ph.D. in bilingual typography from the School of Creative Arts and Design at the UH. I am working on this post-doctorate project hosted by RCA to learn from the anatomy of letterforms and teach AI/machines to create bi-scriptual Latin-Arabic typefaces. As part of this project, we are looking for collaboration with experts in AI machine learning. The aim of my presentation is to receive feedback about the project from AI experts at the University of Hertfordshire, which I hope to lead to a collaboration. --------------------------------------------------- Hertfordshire Computer Science Research Colloquium http://cs-colloq.cs.herts.ac.uk
