You really have to wonder what is going on in the above recursive feedback example.  Need to run some more tests before i speculate too much.

Resynthesis Embedding Drift 3

Resynthesis Embedding Drift

 

Recursive processing generative image resynthesis experiment.  I'm not preterbing the image embedding in this one, just feeding the previous output back into the input for the next resynthesis cycle.

This batch are all double feedback experiments.  The animation output from the last post (which were generated recursive feedback into the U-Net latent input) are used as the U-Net latent input for this second pass.

Oblivion 3

 

Recursive feedback of previous output via the U-Net latent input.  I love how the image structure evolves via de-evolution over time with this approach.

Another EBM Experiment

 

Energy Based Model 6

 

Processing a movie file with the energy based model above. Dropped it into Gallery Show and worked with it as the GS Technique.  Adjusting GS cycle parameters as it progresses.  There is a whole issue with how one would take the swap buffer paradigm we use in constructing paint action sequences and augment it to actually work in a gallery show cycle. So we're missing that part of the EBM PASeq in the GS example below.

Energy Based Model 2

 

Interesting approach for generating still photos.  Some issues right now with video as shown below.

Energy Based Model

 

One can think about formulating image synthesis within the context of Yann LeCun's Energy Based Models, which is a world view he uses to provide a unified conceptual framework for how different deep learning systems work.  You can build the algorithms directly inside of Studio Artist using the existing feature set.  Early days, but fascinating none the less.
