Re: wk04 - MidJourney 3rd + Analysis Report

In this week, instead of practicing MidJourney, I reviewed the history of AI image generators. The slides cover the historical development of AI image generators before diffusion models. Development of AI image generators.pdf Screenshot 2022-12-06 at 2.24.09 PM.png Phase 0: Deep Dream and optimizati...

Re: wk10 - DALLE-2, Final Review Dec 1, 2022

Part #1 Comparison between conditional Image-to-Image translation between StyleGAN3+p2s2p and Stable Diffusion Presentation slides: Presentation MAT 255 F22.pdf I used stable diffusion as a module of a larger project. This module is in charge of translating a raw pose image into a photorealistic im...

Re: wk06 - Stable Diffusion 1 - Nov 3, 2022

Image-to-image translation with stable diffusion I have been experimenting with stable diffusion model since week #1. Here is the link to its Colab. https://colab.research.google.com/github/huggingface/notebooks/blob/main/diffusers/image_2_image_using_diffusers.ipynb My main goal is to generate fen...

Re: wk07 - Stable Diffusion - 2nd set, Nov. 10, 2022

Stable-Diffusion-Infinity This experiment aims to explore the tool Stable-Diffusion-Infinity that was demonstrated by Mert in the class. It is very attractive to me for its ability to generate very large images with fine step-by-step control. This creation process exposes much more control than the...

Re: wk1 - MidJourney 1 - 1st Results

midjourney_1.png **Prompt: Stroboscopic, Fencing, Sports, Multi-exposure, mild, motion** 1. Does the image meet your expectations? No really what I was looking for, but it has its own style. I have never seen images created by computer with so organic textures, which gives a feeling of analog film....

Re: Report 6: Vision & Machine Learning

I have been reading David Marr's book, Vision. It surprised me that how much similarity the principle of neural networks similar to human perception. In the book, Marr discussed how information is extracted from visual signals. Starting with seeing the image, followed by a primal sketch, 2.5 D sketc...

Re: Report 7: Aesthetic Explorations in AI

I would like to share my thoughts on Dr. Ahmed Elgammal research of creative GAN, i.e. CAN. 1706.07068.pdf Overall, I think it is very inspiring and critically innovative. The research trained an GAN with universal architecture, however, two changes have been made to improve its artistic creativity....

Re: Report 5: Generative Art, Computational Aesthetics

Although Generative art is often referred to algorithmic art, or computer art, I think it dates back to the age before computer is invented. Marcel Duchamp's idea of ready-made liberates the artist from the manufacturing of artifacts. The conceptual artists in Sol Levitt changed people's traditional...
