BlogProjectsMachine LearningArtificial LifeGoogle HacksSearchAboutDouweOsinga'sProjectsInteresting projects, or not. The projects described here range from one night ideas turned into code to life-long endeavours. A lot of them are in a bad state right now though due to a decade of neglect. Slowly recovering.Deep Learning CookbookI wrote a book for O'Reilly about Machine Learning. It will teach you a wide range of techniques, using projects similar to the sort of thing that you can find on this website. Word2Vec, GANs, music analysis. You should buy it! Oh and all the code is on GitHub.Gram ZoomGramzoom uses the key element of the Style Tranfer Algorithm to create an infinitely zoomable movie from any image. It works best with images that are self similar, but anything will really do. Can cats look evil? It might just break the Internet.Geo TweetsExtracting emojis from geocoded tweets allows us to show them over a 24 hour cycle on a world map andobserve when people do certain things, like drinking coffee, sipping beer or sleep.MandylionUsing Recurrent Neural Networks to generate Icons and Hieroglyphs. The icons are encoded in a machine learnable format.Droste MoviesSmall project to create movies from pictures that could "recurse", i.e. part of the picture could be replaced by the picture itself. Especially relevant in these days with everybodytaking pictures using cell phones all the time.
Visual Movie Recommender
A movie recommender trained not on people rating movies, but solely on the outgoing links from the wikipedia article. By forcing the recommendation vectors into two dimensions, we make it possible to explore movies and their neighbors.
Style Transfer Interpolation
Adaption pf the Keras implementation of style transfer supporting multiple style images.
Marconi
An implementation of a Spotify-like song radio based on Word2Vec. Based on a large set of crawled playlists and using those playlists as sentence equivalents. The Word2Vec algorithm then produces a vector per song.
World Sizer
Reincarnation of a very old project that resizes countries to represent certain aspect of them
Mercator Projection
Mercator projection is bad. By making it possible to change the pole, we can see how really bad it actuallyis. Make Greenland small again!
Reverse Image Search
Use a pretrained image classifier to power a reverse image search engine like the Tineye or GoogleImage search. Returns only from a rather select set of images.
Deep Ink
An implementation of deep dreaming where the network is restricted to just black and white and starts with a blob in the middle. It forces it to draw from the center and create ink like patterns.
World map of
World map of uses Word2Vec to color a world map based on the distance between words and the names of countries.Country names are an interesting way to geocode the semantic values of words though a bit noisy.
Universal Numbers
Create universal numbers by comparing the edit distance between all numbers from wikitrav
