Machine learning at the museum: this week on Google Cloud Platform
Friday, May 27, 2016
Posted by Alex Barrett, Editor, Google Cloud Platform Blog
Is there a limit to what you can do with machine learning? Doesn’t seem like it.
At
Moogfest
last week, Google researchers presented about
Project Magenta
, which uses TensorFlow, the open-source machine learning library that we developed, to see if computers can create original pieces of art and music.
Researchers have also shown that they can use TensorFlow to train systems to imitate the grand masters. With
this implementation
of
neural style
in TensorFlow, it becomes easy to render an image that looks like it was created by Vincent Van Gogh or Pablo Picasso — or a combination thereof. Take this image of Frank Gehry’s Stata Center in winter,
add style inputs from Van Gogh’s Starry Night and a Picasso Dora Maar:
and end up with:
Voila! A Picasso-esque Van Gogh for 21st century!
(The code for neural style was first posted to GitHub last December, but the author continues to update it and
welcomes pull requests
.)
Or maybe fine art isn’t your thing. This week, we also saw how to use TensorFlow to
solve trivial programming problems
,
forecast demand
— even
predict the elections
.
Because TensorFlow is open source, anyone can use it, on the platform of their choice. But it’s worth mentioning that running machine learning on
Google Cloud Platform
works especially well. You can learn more about GCP’s machine learning capabilities
here
. And if you’re doing something awesome with machine learning on GCP, we’d love to hear about it — just tweet us at
