How a neural net makes cookies

The other day I trained a neural net to generate the names of cookies [http://aiweirdness.com/post/180892528177/aw-yeah-its-time-for-cookies-with-neural-networks] , based on about 1,000 existing recipes. The resulting names (Quitterbread Bars, Hand Buttersacks, Low Fuzzy Feats, and more) were both delightfully weird and strangely plausible. People even invented delicious

Aw yeah it’s time for cookies with neural networks

So there’s these computer programs called artificial neural networks that are good at imitating things. By seeing examples of what humans did, they can learn to translate languages, predict product sales, and even categorize text and images as innocuous or explicit (it has a lot of trouble with this

How to make high-tech pies sound really old

A while ago I made a bunch of new pies [http://aiweirdness.com/post/167736100922/a-neural-network-invents-some-pies]. Well, I didn’t *make* them because they were neural network invented titles and although it tried to imitate the list of pies I gave it, the neural net’s imitations are imperfect. The

In Which the neural network gets bored halfway through making cookies

I’ve been training a neural network (based on this open-source neural network framework from Andrej Karpathy [http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fkarpathy%2Fchar-rnn&t=NDVkOGIwZmQ4NzM1ZjIxMTcwOGFhN2RjZjBlZjYyMjgzN2M5MzJmYyx2Q0pORUpRbQ%3D%3D&b=t%3AIinBpZOgiMHH_bphj7hrOQ&p=http%3A%2F%2Flewisandquark.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F159062141927%
