I did one of these for 2017 last year [http://aiweirdness.com/post/169049462997/ten-new-applications-for-neural-networks] , so I thought it would be fun to recap some of my favorite aiweirdness.com experiments from 2018. Sure, financial forecasting, facial recognition, and delivering ads may be the most
