Progress is slow for my various hobby efforts to generate images, create lyrics or even detect my dog in an image, but I do still experiment a little bit when I have the time for it. Today, I ran through the image captioning tutorial from Tensorflow, because why not. I trained it on a reduced… Continue reading Image captioning model

The Painting Dataset
In my continuing exploration of generative adversarial networks, I found “The Painting Dataset” and wrote a short script to extract the images from it. Only about 1200 paintings seems to be valid, but it is at least something.

I found these lyrics hidden away in my notes. They were created using my updated lyrics generator earlier this year after retraining the neural network using a sentence embedding instead of a word embedding (lyrics generator code). I guess I was waiting to publish it as part of a larger post. No need. This masterpiece… Continue reading Mighty mighty world
Dipping the feet in the game design pond
For my wife’s birthday this year, I created a prototype of a small game-like 3D environment that she could “walk around” in using the keyboard and mouse. The idea was to have an “exhibit” for each year we have known each other, consisting of a few photos from that year as well as a short… Continue reading Dipping the feet in the game design pond
2 + 2 with neural networks
Some weeks ago, I was at a get together with my old university friends that we call “the hack day”. It usually revolves around drinking lots of coffee and soft drinks, eating loads of chips and candy, as well as working on the occasional masterpiece project like Zombie Hugs. At the end of the day,… Continue reading 2 + 2 with neural networks
