In this series of liveProjects, you’ll explore the capabilities of an AI algorithm to create beautiful art. You’ll create fun tools that can make photos look like paintings, and also augment image datasets for training other AI. Through hands-on machine learning projects, you’ll explore the latent space of a deep neural network, and manipulate its values to see how it affects an input image. You’ll tackle challenges such as training an image classifier, manipulating your filters to produce dreamlike images, and creating AI-generated images that look like human art.

These projects are designed for learning purposes and are not complete, production-ready applications or solutions.

liveProject mentor Stefano Masneri shares what he likes about the Manning liveProject platform.

here's what's included

Project 1 Using Neural Networks
In this liveProject, you’ll follow research laid out in a groundbreaking paper and work with algorithms that can take the aesthetic style of one image and apply it to another. You’ll use convolutional neural networks and transfer learning to build a simple image classifier and implement a neural style transfer. You’ll use TensorFlow and Keras to build your networks, Matplotlib and keras-vis to visualize them, and scikit-learn to analyze your results.
Project 2 Generate Art
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.
