Neural style transfer
Unusual applications for neural networks.
I took the deeplearning.ai course a few years ago and one of the modules was on this paper by Gatys, which is now ridiculously codified on TensorHub in their great module on neural style transfer. This blog post isn't anything new...but if you're looking for a quick implementation that you could use to transform your own face into arbitrarily cool versions of famous paintings (or other images), check out my Github repo.
Cool. To run:
pip install -r requirements.txt python main.py --content=nick.jpg --style=okeefe.jpg
And it spits out images in the `output` directory.
