How to Train Your Own Neural Network

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) seems poised to run most of the world these days: it's detecting skin cancer, looking for hate speech on Facebook, and even flagging possible lies in police reports in Spain. But AIs aren't all run by mega-corporations and governments; you can download some algorithms and play with them yourself, with often hilarious results. There's the faux Coachella poster full of fake band names, created by feeding a bunch of real band names into a neural network and asking it to come up with some of its own. There are the recipes created in a similar way, where "barbecue beef" calls for "1 beer - cut into cubes." Humans aren't nearly as creative as we think.
