Watch an AI turn music into a brain-melting visualization

#artificialintelligence

Synesthesia is the rare condition when our senses melt together -- some say they can hear colors, others that they can taste words. But what if we let the senses of an artificial intelligence overlap instead? Belgium-based machine learning researcher and educator Xander Steenbrugge has developed a neural network that can turn music into trippy visualizations. Steenbrugge's project, called "Neural Synesthesia," makes use of a generative adversarial network. That's a type of machine learning system that specializes in generating new data from a given training set.
