81 The basic idea of such transform is, for each pixel, to multiply in the element-wise manner its neighbourhood with a matrix called the structuring element.

98 The general idea is to generate two "displacements" fields, for horizontal and vertical displacements of pixels. Each of these fields has the same size as the original image.

100 When generating the transformed image, we'll loop over the x and y positions in the fields and select, as a value, the value of the pixel in the original image at the (relative) position given by the displacement fields for this x and y. If the position we'd retrieve is outside the borders of the image, we use a 0 value instead.

102 To generate a pixel in either field, first a value between -1 and 1 is chosen from a uniform distribution. Then all the pixels, in both fields, is multiplied by a constant $\alpha$ which controls the intensity of the displacements (bigger $\alpha$ translates into larger wiggles).

104 As a final step, each field is convoluted with a Gaussian 2D kernel of standard deviation $\sigma$. Visually, this results in a "blur" filter. This has the effect of making values next to each other in the displacement fields similar. In effect, this makes the wiggles more coherent, less noisy.

106 As displacement fields were long to compute, 50 pairs of fields were generated per complexity in increments of 0.1 (50 pairs for 0.1, 50 pairs for 0.2, etc.), and afterwards, given a complexity, we selected randomly among the 50 corresponding pairs.

114 This algorithm has two input parameters, $length$ and $angle$. The value of a pixel in the final image is the mean value of the $length$ first pixels found by moving in the $angle$ direction. An approximation of this idea is used, as we won't fall onto precise pixels by following that direction. This is done using the Bresenham line algorithm.

116 The angle, in our case, is chosen from a uniform distribution over $[0,360]$ degrees. The length, though, depends on the complexity; it's sampled from a Gaussian distribution of mean 0 and standard deviation $\sigma = 3 \times complexity$.

120 This is another GIMP filter we used. The filter is in fact named "Whirl and pinch", but we don't use the "whirl" part (whirl is set to 0). As described in GIMP, a pinch is "similar to projecting the image onto an elastic surface and pressing or pulling on the center of the surface".

122 Mathematically, for a square input image, think of drawing a circle of radius $r$ around a center point $C$. Any point (pixel) $P$ belonging to that disk (region inside circle) will have its value recalculated by taking the value of another "source" pixel in the original image. The position of that source pixel is found on the line thats goes through $C$ and $P$, but at some other distance $d_2$. Define $d_1$ to be the distance between $P$ and $C$. $d_2$ is given by $d_2 = sin(\frac{\pi{}d_1}{2r})^{-pinch} \times d_1$, where $pinch$ is a parameter to the filter.

133 This filter selects random parts of other (hereafter "occlusive") letter images and places them over the original letter (hereafter "occluded") image. To be more precise, having selected a subregion of the occlusive image and a desination position in the occluded image, to determine the final value for a given overlapping pixel, it selects whichever pixel is the lightest. As a reminder, the background value is 0, black, so the value nearest to 1 is selected.

135 To select a subpart of the occlusive image, four numbers are generated. For compability with the code, we'll call them "haut", "bas", "gauche" and "droite" (respectively meaning top, bottom, left and right). Each of these numbers is selected according to a Gaussian distribution of mean $8 \times complexity$ and standard deviation $2$. This means the largest the complexity is, the biggest the occlusion will be. The absolute value is taken, as the numbers must be positive, and the maximum value is capped at 15.

139 The next step is to select a destination position in the occluded image. Vertical and horizontal displacements $y\_arrivee$ and $x\_arrivee$ are selected according to Gaussian distributions of mean 0 and of standard deviations of, respectively, 3 and 2. Then an horizontal placement mode, $endroit$ (meaning location), is selected to be of three values meaning left, middle or right.

149 This transformation adds a random background behind the letter. The background is chosen by first selecting, at random, an image from a set of images. Then we choose a 32x32 subregion of that image as the background image (by sampling x and y positions uniformly while making sure not to cross image borders).

151 To combine the original letter image and the background image, contrast adjustments are made. We first get the maximal values (i.e. maximal intensity) for both the original image and the background image, $maximage$ and $maxbg$. We also have a parameter, $contrast$, given by sampling from a uniform distribution over $[complexity, 1]$.

153 Once we have all these numbers, we first adjust the values for the background image. Each pixel value is multiplied by $\frac{max(maximage - contrast, 0)}{maxbg}$. Therefore the higher the contrast, the darkest the background will be.

159 This filter adds noise to the image by randomly selecting a certain number of them and, for those selected pixels, assign a random value according to a uniform distribution over the $[0,1]$ ranges. This last distribution does not change according to complexity. Instead, the number of selected pixels does: the proportion of changed pixels corresponds to $complexity / 5$, which means, as a maximum, 20\% of the pixels will be randomized. On the lowest extreme, no pixel is changed.

216 This is a common case where some specialized non-linearity is applied to the output layer only depending on the task at hand.

218 If you put 3 or more hidden layers in such a network you obtain what is called a deep MLP.

223 Auto-encoders are essentially a way to initialize the weights of the network to enable better generalization.

224 Denoising auto-encoders are a variant where the input is corrupted with random noise before trying to repair it.

225 The principle behind these initialization methods is that the network will learn the inherent relation between portions of the data and be able to represent them thus helping with whatever task we want to perform.

227 An auto-encoder unit is formed of two MLP layers with the bottom one called the encoding layer and the top one the decoding layer.

228 Usually the top and bottom weight matrices are the transpose of each other and are fixed this way.

229 The network is trained as such and, when sufficiently trained, the MLP layer is initialized with the parameters of the encoding layer.

232 The stacked version is an adaptation to deep MLPs where you initialize each layer with a denoising auto-encoder starting from the bottom.

233 During the initialization, which is usually called pre-training, the bottom layer is treated as if it were an isolated auto-encoder.

234 The second and following layers receive the same treatment except that they take as input the encoded version of the data that has gone through the layers before it.
