Neural Aesthetic W5: Visualization, deepdream, style & texture synthesis

For week 5 we dove into visualizations. The last 2 weeks we touched on convolutional networks but not necessarily how they functioned. This week we lifted the hood a little to break down what was happening.  Next week we’ll dive into generative models.

This week:

• visualizing neural networks
• optimization-based class synthesis 
• style transfer and texture analysis 

Deep learning frameworks: 

• Keras
• TensorFlow
• Pytorch
• Darknet 

How some of these items are more like the tips of the iceberg, how processing is to java as keras is to tensorflow.
