Fun With Machine Learning
I have been sharing the following images around. They were created with machine learning code that I came across and modified a bit while examining how it operates.

The code basically takes an image and imposes a style from another image upon it. It is rather computational expensive as it takes around 12 Gigabytes of RAM to “work” on a 1024×1024 pixel image and about 2 hours of compute time to run the 20 iterations required to complete an image. Machine learning is a fascinating new frontier in technology that I have been spending some time since the spring of 2018 getting to understand on a deeper level. I’ve seen a lot of technologies come and go but, this field has stunned me, is moving forward very fast and is here to stay.
Prior to 2018 I had some exposure to machine learning in the sense of using adaptive control systems in industry. I also worked on a research project that involved a type of fuzzy logic and cellular automata for a learning system that would be used in a control loop. I also developed code that used a tractrix curve as the main element of a control system. But, that is kind of simple machine learning as compared to what is going on today.
