Gene Kogan
Neural network generating images that match a “kind” of image (tea pots, running shoes, faces…).
The software creates new images that look like something recognizable, and it’s not a “mix” of previous images, but something new. It does this by looking at the probability distribution of many images of the target kind, and then tries to imitiate that distribution.
