A computer tries its best to learn psalms

There’s a type of computer program called a neural network that tries to imitate whatever dataset you give it. The programmer gives it no explicit instructions about what the dataset is like; whether it’s poems or prose [http://aiweirdness.com/post/164291045392/harry-potter-and-the-word-level-recurrent-neural] or a list of pies

Neural network names for your Cajun/Zydeco band

Starting a Cajun/Zydeco band this year? Who isn’t! Or need to rebrand your existing death metal band now that your lead guitarist has switched to harmonica? Artificial intelligence has you covered. I train neural networks, which are a kind of machine learning computer program that can learn by

A neural network invents some pies

(Pie -> cat courtesy of https://affinelayer.com/pixsrv/ ) I work with neural networks, [https://github.com/karpathy/char-rnn] which are a type of machine learning computer program that learn by looking at examples. They’re used for all sorts of serious applications, like facial recognition and ad targeting

Disney songs, sung by a neural network with a very short memory

I train neural networks, which are a type of computer program that try to learn to copy human things by looking at examples. By giving them just a list of names and no further instructions, I can get neural networks to invent names for paint colors [http://aiweirdness.com/post/

The neural network meets its match: Fish biologists

(Drawing by Max Graenitz [https://www.instagram.com/maxgraenitz/]) I train machine learning programs called neural networks - they work by looking at lists of data and then deducing their own rules about how to generate similar data. They’re used in everything from ad targeting to facial recognition to

A neural network tries writing the first sentence of a novel

It’s National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo, for short), which means that writers everywhere are embarking on writing projects - and when you’re faced with a blank page, sometimes it’s just hard to get started. I wanted to see if I could train a computer program to help.

A neural network designs Halloween costumes

It’s hard to come up with ideas for Halloween costumes, especially when it seems like all the good ones are taken. And don’t you hate showing up at a party only to discover that there’s *another* pajama cardinalfish? I train neural networks, a type of machine learning

Slashdot headlines written by neural network

The news site Slashdot [https://slashdot.org/] (“news for nerds, stuff that matters”) is celebrating its 20 year anniversary this October. What could be geekier than celebrating with the help of an open-source neural network? Neural networks are a type of machine learning program that learn by example, rather than

Computer algorithms, invented by a computer

By Janelle Shane On October 12, 2017 - 2 min read

I train neural networks, which are a type of machine learning program that imitates the way human brains learn. (Technically, they’re artificial neural networks, to differentiate them from the biological sort). Unlike traditional computer programming, where a human programmer comes up with a long set of rules for a
