‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ rendered in the style of Picasso
Neural style transfer is extremely fun to play with.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).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.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 :-)
