You see that right next to a birthday cake there is this long, slender shape. After some repetition (of the above-described kind) you have a drawing of a cake with the candle on top! But hold on, you see something weird in this picture. Now you repeat this experiment and ask the kid to draw you a birthday cake. Now you, being a patient teacher, repeat this a several dozen times, the kid keeps drawing over his own drawings and finally in front of you there is indeed a drawing of something that you might recognize as a cake. So now he sees his own scribbles in this puzzle and they vaguely remind him of a cake, so now he adds more lines, more scribbles to the existing ones to make them more cake-like. The kid has not only never experienced cake but also doesn’t recognize (for the sake of the argument) the piece of paper in front of him. You ask the kid to outline the cake again on this paper. So you hide that piece of paper behind your back and pretend to get a new piece of paper but you actually give the kid the same one he just scribbled on. Now you look at it, you don’t quite see it yet but you want to keep going.
And he sets off to the task, identifies 4 or 5 dots that in his mind kind of resemble a cake and he draws a very vague outline around those dots. So you make it a tad easier for the kid and you give him one of those connect-the-dots type puzzles (nevermind what this should actually show once you connect the dots!) and you ask the kid to recognize a cake within those dots and outline it for you. Now the kid is at a loss a bit, he has just seen a few cakes and he is still kind of wrestling with this concept and he can’t really just draw you a cake. So you give it a blank piece of paper and a pencil and you ask him to draw you a cake. But you are not so sure – you want to see if this kid really understands you. You also point to a birthday cake and you tell this kid “This is a birthday cake”. Mind you, these are all very different cakes. And you tell this kid that these are all cakes.
So you sit this kid at a table and you present it with a few cakes – a brownie, a birthday cake with a candle on top, a pavlova. Now you have the task of teaching this kid what a cake IS. So this kid doesn’t know what cake is, what it is for, what you do with it, what it smells, tastes or feels like and it has never seen any variant of a cake. Imagine for a second that you have met a kid who has never seen a cake in their lifetime (I know, this is cruel, but for the sake of the kid imagine this for me). The computer doesn’t even have a concept of a dog. To you and me this is a no-brainer – we all know what a dog looks like, but a computer doesn’t. Now imagine trying to teach this machine to recognize a picture of a dog, and KNOW that this is a dog. Or maybe a better way of putting it is you know you have to give it a lot of information in order to perform a very simple task, because all this machine understands is numbers. Those of you out there who have ever tried to program anything (or have first done so at the Python course) know how hard it can be to instruct a computer to do something. In fact, I learned a lot from here and draw some examples from comments in this thread. I will try and explain how this works in simple terms. This is done using the artificial neural networks.
#Deep dreamer for windows how to
I am not going to go into the science of machine-learning (Google it if you like!), but what it comes down to is letting a computer “teach” itself or “learn” how to perform certain tasks by simulating the human brain. Now what is actually going on here is that a fraction of Google employees are working on machine-learning algorithms and the “emerging art” that you see is a part of their testing of this algorithm.
And by this I don’t mean its founders or some technician on acid, I mean some algorithm came up with this. … and you go and think about someone having a go at some new tools in photoshop and you look at it more closely and you start thinking about the meaning of life and what must be going on in this person’s head.Īnd then … through a bit of Googling – you realize that actually… it was Google that created them.
You may have even heard about an emerging new artist who is producing them. You may have seen some pretty weird and crazy images floating around the interwebs recently.
