DeepDream. Have you guys heard of this? I hadn't. It's created using Python code (I vaguely remember hearing of Python, But well, yeah...I barely know what skrit is... So anyway, I was browsing online and clicking on various links and found a forum that featured some guy's image created via DeepDream. This led to me doing some more searching and finding some more information on DeepDream. It seems *really* cool. Quote:
In simple words, DeepDream is a program that uses Google’s Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in order to visualize what exactly it sees in an image. You feed the program an image, and the program sends it back and shows you what it sees in that image. DeepDream was developed by Alexander Mordvintsev, Christopher Olah and Michael Tyka (software engineers at Google). That article references a post in Google's development blog Interesting quote at the end of the end of the blog post: Quote:
The techniques presented here help us understand and visualize how neural networks are able to carry out difficult classification tasks, improve network architecture, and check what the network has learned during training. It also makes us wonder whether neural networks could become a tool for artists—a new way to remix visual concepts—or perhaps even shed a little light on the roots of the creative process in general. There is a free website that allows you to create your own DeepDream images: DeepDream generator Check out their gallery containing images generated by users. A couple of images I downloaded (sorry, they're a little big!
I didn't sign up at the DeepDream generator site, but it's bookmarked and I plan on doing so and seeing what I can do. If you sign up and create something, please post the image in the comments section. I would love to see it! blogs: |
