Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll replicate Google’s Deep Dream algorithm to explore the artistic creations of a neural network. You’ll start by investigating the latent space of a deep neural network and how manipulating its values can affect an input image. You’ll visualize inputs that maximize your filters, and manipulate these filters to produce ‘dream-like’ hallucinations.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book and video resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books and videos for 90 days.
