Dear world,
I managed to set up a convolutional neural network on my computer, I consider it a pet now.
I was always fascinated by the DeepDream technique which emerged from an attempt by Google to have a system being able to recognize things on images.
Wikipedia:
"A computer vision program created by Google engineer Alexander Mordvintsev that uses a convolutional neural network to find and enhance patterns in images via algorithmic pareidolia, thus creating a dream-like hallucinogenic appearance in the deliberately over-processed images."
...to say it more poetically, it enables machines to fantasize images into other images, like our brain tends to see a rabbit in a cloud.
What I was interested in particular was if I would be able to do this on video at home myself. There were some attempts by people some time ago, but only a few of it that looked interesting and not too chaotic. So I obtained a trained neural network model (trained on images of animals mostly) and was able to make it run on my computer. It took a few days of figuring this out. But amazingly it worked.
Let us hope we will keep our ability to dream while computers gain it.
A Trip to the Moon (Le Voyage dans la Lune) is a 1902 French adventure film directed by Georges Méliès.
