I am blown away by VQGAN+CLIP, a pair of neural network architectures that can be used to generate images from text. When I wrote my previous post on “A game of AI telephone“, it was not clear to me yet how exciting this technology actually is. Or rather, I had not used the right text… Continue reading Image generation with VQGAN + CLIP

I have used fasttext for language detection a few times, but I always seem to forget how to install and predict the language, so I created this little gist to remind myself of how to download, instantiate the model and predict the language of a piece of text.
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.
