Abstract：A CapsNet-based Chinese character font representation model is proposed to represent Chinese character font by the representation of components. Firstly, representative vectors of all categories are generated by the model. Then, a group of component representative vectors are selected by the Euclidean-distance-based outlier detection according to component probabilities. Finally, these vectors are utilized to form the Chinese character font representations. The experimental results show that the proposed model, merely trained on component fonts, is capable of identifying components of Chinese characters and automatically generating effective representation of Chinese characters.
