Deep Learning with PyTorch for more Fun and Profit (Part II)

There are all these great articles and blog posts about Deep Learning describing all that awesome stuff. - Is it all that easy? Let's check! We'll look into: style transfer (making a picture look like painting), speech generation (like Siri or Alexa) and text generation (writing a story). In this talk I'll describe the whole journey: A fun ride from the idea to the very end including all the struggles, failures and successes.

Scheduled on thursday 10:30 in room media

Speaker

Description

There are all these great blog posts about Deep Learning describing all that awesome stuff. - Is it all that easy? Let's check! This is part 2 of on ongoing series of adventures in Deep Learning for fun, research and business.

We'll look into: style transfer (making a picture look like painting), speech generation (like Siri or Alexa) and text generation (writing a story). In this talk I'll describe the whole journey: A fun ride from the idea to the very end including all the struggles, failures and successes. Steps, we'll cover:

  • The data challenge: get the data ready
  • Have it run on your Mac with PyTorch and an eGPU
  • Creating a character-level language models with an Recurrent Neural Network
  • Creating a text generator
  • Creating artwork
