Halloween costumes by the neural net GPT-2

In my opinion, one of the best applications of neural networks is for generating Halloween costumes. Thanks to a dataset of over 7,100 costumes crowdsourced from readers of this blog, I’ve been able to generate Halloween costumes with progressively more powerful neural networks. In 2017, I used char-rnn

Writing to you from deep inside the Uncanny Valley, I present to you some hand-selected images generated by an algorithm called BigGAN [https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.11096]. This algorithm looks at example images of a bunch of different objects and then tries its best to figure out how to

People use neural networks for translating languages, recommending movies, delivering ads, and more, but this here is one of my favorite applications: utter surrealism. Last year [http://aiweirdness.com/post/166814009412/a-neural-network-designs-halloween-costumes] I trained a neural network on 4,500 Halloween costumes that you readers helped me collect. This year,

(Images generated by BigGAN [http://aiweirdness.com/post/178619746932/imaginary-worlds-dreamed-by-biggan]) Neural networks are a kind of machine learning algorithm that learn to imitate the examples I give them. They’re pretty good at picking up on the feel of craft [http://aiweirdness.com/post/163753995072/craft-beer-names-invented-by-neural-network] beer [http://aiweirdness.com/

It’s hard to come up with ideas for Halloween costumes, especially when it seems like all the good ones are taken. And don’t you hate showing up at a party only to discover that there’s *another* pajama cardinalfish? I train neural networks, a type of machine learning
