AI

In the last article, we focused on VAEs and GANs for image generation. This time, we’ll talk about analyzing images and trying to identify classes. We will also take this opportunity to talk about the usual traps and limits of AI classification.

To start off with this series of articles on the AI & Art project I did in collaboration with Cali Rezo, we’ll discuss some common generative models and how we applied them to her artwork to create new images in a “Cali-like” style.

Nowadays, machine learning (ML) is a red-hot topic which is discussed everywhere in various ways. More and more companies are relying on AI as part of their production process, be it in the domain of finance, medicine, management, art… This last application of ML algorithms, in particular, is really interesting to me. And, since the great abstract painter Cali Rezo shares this interest, we decided we would collaborate on a project to study how to apply AI to art.
