Cody,
I really have no idea. The site that I signed up for is called
users hands on experience with image generation with
neural nets. It is setup like the typical social media site,
allowing users to make their `dreams` public and for
others to `like` the `dreams`. Experimenting with different
images and styles is starting to give me some heuristics
to work from and some ideas for how features are extracted.
My current working theory is something of a metaphor.
I imagine that when a `style` image is uploaded the
neural net is like a teenager in a punk band. It has maybe
three favorite bands, but one that really really is the best.
The teenagers memorize and test themselves on all the
idiosyncrasies of this favorite band, deconstructing the
lyrics and the moves on stage. Then when teenager and
band of friends go to cover a song by anyone else, this
song is effectively reconstituted from all of this training
on the bands favorite band.
Meanwhile, what is actually happening? Well, you know,
weights on edges in a database are increasing when nodes
`fire` together, and weaken when Hebbian accuracy is not
achieved.
