Facebook's Artificial Intelligence Can Translate Words into Images, and Vice Versa

This year, Facebook AI Research (FAIR) unveiled their neural net at the GPU Technology Conference. At the event, they showed off the tech's ability to create virtual images based on written descriptions. At the presentation, the team demonstrated the neural net by typing in the word "beach," which the AI used to generate an image of painted beach underneath a sky of clouds. FAIR then typed the words "beach – clouds" which was quickly followed by a similar image except without the clouds this time. To top off the presentation they input the words "sunset beach – clouds" and the AI generated an image of a setting sun along a beach and clear skies.
