Episode 16: When Philosophy and Python COLLIDE! - Part 2

Sean and Kelly continue their conversation about the philosophy and ethics of machine learning and artificial intelligence in Python. This episode focuses more on resources and tools for AI learning after last episode's focus on philosophy and ethics.

• Experiments with style transfer — Style transfer is the technique of recomposing images in the style of other images. These were mostly created using Justin Johnson’s code based on the paper by Gatys, Ecker, and Bethge demonstrating a method for restyling images using convolutional neural networks.

• Jason Yosinski — Deep neural networks have recently been producing amazing results! But how do they do what they do? Historically, they have been thought of as “black boxes”, meaning that their inner workings were mysterious and inscrutable. Recently, we and others have started shinning light into these black boxes to better understand exactly what each neuron has learned and thus what computation it is performing.

• Image Kernels explained visually — An image kernel is a small matrix used to apply effects like the ones you might find in Photoshop or Gimp, such as blurring, sharpening, outlining or embossing. They're also used in machine learning for 'feature extraction', a technique for determining the most important portions of an image.
