I train neural networks to write humor at aiweirdness.com | Also a research scientist in optics. She/her
In which I train a neural network classifier to answer the question: Metal band or My Little Pony?

220 Volt is metal, but Alice Cooper and Black Rose are definitely ponies
For #wip Wednesday - I'm trying out a new sort of #machinelearning algorithm. I've trained it to classify any given name as either a metal band or a My Little Pony. Anyone got names to try?
(Delightfully, it is 99% sure I am a pony)
It will do any Google Maps location, too. It generated heavy rain to go with this spot on the Isle of Skye.

This neural network will choose a soundscape to go with whatever picture you upload. http://imaginarysoundscape2.qosmo.jp/
Odonata sent me these amazing SkyKnit patterns!! This is Fishcock, which somehow ended up as a huge hyperbolic surface.
The Kealing Middle School students shared their ice cream dataset with me - so I made some new neural net-generated flavors.

I trained a char-rnn on podcast titles, and here are the (raw) results:I trained

I have put in thousands of hours on my poetry generator over the past three years. Thousands. It gets rough, sometimes I feel like I should get rid of the whole thing and simply write poems on my own.
But every so often, the computer writes something for me that makes it all worthwhile. Like tonight, when it gave me this line:
Ms. Johnson's middle school coding classes kicked my butt at neural network ice cream naming. Please enjoy their flavors:

Update: The author of the article says Google translate took some poetic license. She had it as "an amusing catastrophe project"
#skyknit is famous in Japan!
Google Translate says they called it "a pleasant catastrophe project".
I like it.

Saw a rufous-sided towhee this morning! They are like tiny super fancy robins.
I am really enjoying the Palmer Station webcam. Here's a time lapse I made of a storm last Friday afternoon.

Repotted my tomatoes! They'll be clawing at the windows soon.
Storm's coming!

For #MayTheFourth please enjoy these Star Wars character names generated by a neural network. http://aiweirdness.com/post/163491778652/darth-net-star-wars-characters-invented-by-neural
