- 传统方法在字符准确率和输出质量上接近甚至超过深度模型
- 适合研究低维图像生成与模型简约性的人参考
使用计算技术生成结构化字符画需兼顾美学表达与计算精度，要求模型能将视觉信息有效转换为符号文本字符。尽管卷积神经网络（CNN）在此领域展现潜力，但深度学习架构与传统机器学习方法的性能对比尚未明确。本文探索了当代机器学习与深度学习方法在生成结构化字符画中的应用，重点关注保真度、字符分类准确率与输出质量三个标准。研究对象包括MLP、ResNet、MobileNetV2等深度模型，以及随机森林、支持向量机（SVM）和k-近邻（k-NN）等经典方法，均在增强的合成字符数据集上训练。结果表明，复杂神经网络架构在生成高质量字符画方面表现不佳，而传统机器学习分类器虽结构简单，却达到与CNN相当的性能。研究揭示了传统方法在模型简洁性与输出质量之间的平衡优势，为字符画合成及低维图像数据上的机器学习提供了新见解。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generating structured ASCII art using computational techniques demands a careful interplay between aesthetic representation and computational precision, requiring models that can effectively translate visual information into symbolic text characters. Although Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown promise in this domain, the comparative performance of deep learning architectures and classical machine learning methods remains unexplored. This paper explores the application of contemporary ML and DL methods to generate structured ASCII art, focusing on three key criteria: fidelity, character classification accuracy, and output quality. We investigate deep learning architectures, including Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs), ResNet, and MobileNetV2, alongside classical approaches such as Random Forests, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), trained on an augmented synthetic dataset of ASCII characters. Our results show that complex neural network architectures often fall short in producing high-quality ASCII art, whereas classical machine learning classifiers, despite their simplicity, achieve performance similar to CNNs. Our findings highlight the strength of classical methods in bridging model simplicity with output quality, offering new insights into ASCII art synthesis and machine learning on image data with low dimensionality.
