I recently attempted to see if I could create art with Neural Style using only photos I’ve taken and fractal flames I’ve created with Fractorium and Apophysis. I must say, I’m very happy with the results! I generated the outputs using the Neural Style GUI and fine-tuned them using Photoshop– the latter was necessisary to mitigate the black splotches still present in some images.

I’m planning to write up a post soon about a really interesting NLP algorithm, and I’ve been having fun recently training char-RNN on a database of Urban Dictionary so stay tuned for that.
