Ten new applications for neural networks

By Janelle Shane On December 28, 2017 - 3 min read

Neural networks are machine learning algorithms that are very good at solving tough problems - they’re used for language translation, facial recognition, and financial management. I, however, have been training them on silly datasets. Here are some of my favorite experiments from the last year. Naming guinea pigs [http:

Neural networks are a type of computer program that imitate the way that brains learn to solve problems. They’re used for face recognition, self-driving cars, language translation, financial decisions, and more. I mainly use them to write humor. My process starts with a dataset - something that the neural

[Bird illustrations by the talented Carin Powell (10000badframes.tumblr.com [http://10000badframes.tumblr.com] http://carinpowell.wixsite.com/sheanimates)] I train computer programs called neural networks to imitate datasets of human things. Basically, I give the neural network a long list of things like band names [http://aiweirdness.com/post/

There’s a type of computer program called a neural network that tries to imitate whatever dataset you give it. The programmer gives it no explicit instructions about what the dataset is like; whether it’s poems or prose [http://aiweirdness.com/post/164291045392/harry-potter-and-the-word-level-recurrent-neural] or a list of pies

Neural network names for your Cajun/Zydeco band

Starting a Cajun/Zydeco band this year? Who isn’t! Or need to rebrand your existing death metal band now that your lead guitarist has switched to harmonica? Artificial intelligence has you covered. I train neural networks, which are a kind of machine learning computer program that can learn by

I train neural networks, which are a type of computer program that try to learn to copy human things by looking at examples. By giving them just a list of names and no further instructions, I can get neural networks to invent names for paint colors [http://aiweirdness.com/post/

(Drawing by Max Graenitz [https://www.instagram.com/maxgraenitz/]) I train machine learning programs called neural networks - they work by looking at lists of data and then deducing their own rules about how to generate similar data. They’re used in everything from ad targeting to facial recognition to

A neural network tries writing the first sentence of a novel

It’s National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo, for short), which means that writers everywhere are embarking on writing projects - and when you’re faced with a blank page, sometimes it’s just hard to get started. I wanted to see if I could train a computer program to help.
