Educate

One of HTC’s goals is to provide educational resources for Maui residents.  The T in HTC stands for technology, so a big part of this goal is to provide information to get people up to speed about exciting new developments in technology.  We spend a lot of time focusing on deep learning neural networks because they are going to transform all aspects of society.  The current AI revolution is nothing short of remarkable, and we’ve barely even begun to see what is going to be achieved with all of this stuff.

But my background is both as an engineer, and as an artist.  Both of the award winning companies I founded have been focused on using technology to provide creative tools to artists, musicians, creative professionals and hobbyists. So we also have a big focus here on how artists can take advantage of and use technology in their work.

The goal of many of the posts on the HTC blog is to help stimulate your brain. To provide new information you can take in, to expose you to new concepts and ideas, to get you thinking about new ways to do things.  Fostering the development of a real high tech community on Maui requires a more active 'community of ideas' here that people can be exposed to.


But another big goal was to put together courses on specific topics to help beginners learn about and begin to utilize all of the exciting things being discussed on the HTC blog.  So we really want to become an educational resource for the community, and by extension the world at large.  Because anyone in the world has access to the HTC blog, not just people who happen to live on Maui

Perhaps your goal is to come up with a great idea, build a prototype, and then start a company to sell your exciting new widget or idea. 

Perhaps you are an artist, or a musician, and want to learn more about how to utilize all of this exciting AI technology in your creative work.  To extend your artistic range, to stimulate your creatively in new directions.  

Perhaps you just want to learn more about what is happening in AI to understand how it’s going to affect society and your individual life.  Everyone is welcome.


About those courses

The HTC Education Series is our series of educational courses available to all here at HTC.  Our hope is to eventually provide a wide variety of different courses to help folks educate themselves about the various things discussed here at HTC.

Our current courses include the following ones:

Getting Started with Deep Learning

Deep Learning with PyTorch Basics 


Future potential courses will hopefully include specific ones designed for the particular needs of artists (as opposed to the particular needs of software developers).  And also courses on cross platform application development.

The goal here would be to help people get into using AI and other tech in their art, as opposed to trying to train them to develop AI technology.

    I found decent information in your article.sequence to sequence learning with neural networks I am impressed with how nicely you described this subject, It is a gainful article for us. Thanks for share it.

Pix2Pix: a GAN architecture for image to image transformation

Image
 I thought following up yesterday's TraVelGAN post with a Pix2Pix GAN post would be useful to compare what is going on in the 2 architectures.  Two different approaches to the same problem. I stole this Pix2Pix Overview slide below from an excellent deeplearning.ai GAN course (note that they borrowed it from the original paper) because it gives you a good feel for what is going on inside of the Pix2Pix architecture.    Note how the Generator part is very much like an auto-encoder architecture, but rebuilt using the U-Net architecture features (based on skip-connections) that fastai has been discussing in their courses for several years before it became more widely known to the deep learning community at large  (and which originally came from an obscure medical image segmentation paper) . So the Generator in this Pix2Pix GAN is really pretty sophisticated, consisting of a whole image to image auto-encoder network with U-Net skip connections to generate better image quality at highe

CycleGAN: a GAN architecture for learning unpaired image to image transformations

Image
 Like the Doublemint Twins touting the joys of Doublemint gum, 2 GANs are surely better than 1 GAN.  Especially if we package them together inside of one meta GAN module.  And this is exactly what the CycleGAN architecture does. Have you ever harbored dark secrets of turning a horse into a zebra?  The CycleGAN was developed to do just that. Learn how to turn a horse into a zebra.  And more. Now right away you can notice a difference between the image to image transformation GAN architectures we've been discussing over the last few posts.  Those last few posts described systems that learn from a database of matched input-output image pairs. And if your goal is to turn an edge representation into a nicely filled in continuous tone image, it's easy to build your database of matched input-output image pairs that your GAN system can then learn off of.  Take a continuous tone image (which will be the output of the database pair entry), then run it through an edge detector algorithm.

Smart Fabrics

Image
"What makes smart fabrics revolutionary is that they have the ability to do many things that traditional fabrics cannot, including communicate, transform, conduct energy and even grow."  This is a quote from Rebeccah Pailes-Friedman, who is a professor at Pratt with a research focus on developing wearable technology and smart textiles. Enhancing textiles can be viewed through different lens.  Enhancements can be aesthetic, or performance boosting, or durability boosting.
