‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ rendered in the style of Picasso
Neural style transfer is extremely fun to play with.<p>If you have a system with a recent-ish graphics card (I'm doing fine with my GTX 970), put a linux on it and check out the many GitHub projects that implement this stuff (some of the tools will only work on linux).<p>It's a great way to start learning about deep learning and GPU based computation , which are starting to look like very good things to have on your resume.<p>Plus, you get to make cool shit like this that you can actually show to your friends.  I'm getting more interested in the text generation stuff as well too - I'd love to make a Trump speech generator :-)
