VGG_ILSVRC gif loop

This is the output of the neuralgae algorithm, which visualises a neural net's idea of some image classes and then classifies the result and repeats, looped into a GIF, and it's exactly the sort of fluid morphing between surreal forms I've been trying to get for two years.

Neuralgae Updated

I've updated the algorithm behind neuralgae. It's still the same basic principle: render a deepdraw image based on some random categories, feed the results back through the classifier, and then repeat with the new categories. But the draw part of the cycle now uses the weights from the classification stage …

Neuralgae on Twitter

I've made my first Twitter bot. It posts a new image and accompanying text from my Neuralgae NaNoGenMo project, six times a day, modified slightly so that it fits within the character limit. One of my goals with Neuralgae was to generate something which was in some sense readable, and …

Neuralgae

For NaNoGenMo (national novel generation month) 2015, I wrote some Python which generates a series of loosely-coupled deepdream images, and adds eight-line surrealist 'poetry' to them based on the image categories used to draw them.

 

The full text is here: Neuralgae.

The source code and a fairly detailed description of …

The thousand faces of CaffeNet

Here are the thousand image categories in the ImageNet Challenge data visualisation context, rendered onto a webcam photo of me using the deepdraw technique.

This is the set of image classifications which the standard Deepdreams imagery is based on: as more than one hundred of the categories are dog breeds …
