Deep Dream (Google) - Computerphile 

"I want more. I want more ears, I want more paws, I want more bits of cat." have you tried anime?

Why haven't I heard about such an interesting thing up until now?????

I wonder if this has anything to do with why people see faces in inanimate objects? Are our brains maximizing neurons for facial recognition?

You know you are a programmer when you exactly have 6 books standing on your shelf because you learned the rest from online-tutorials.

Honestly, some of these images look like they belong in a museum of some kind.

I think this is the most accessible explanation of Deep Dream I've heard. Although I do disagree that you can't explain backpropagation and gradient descent in an intuitive way.

How do we get into a class with this fella. He makes me want to learn computing skills. Clear, precise, funny, knowledgeable, makes learning fun...

And look where we are now.

This guy is amazing how does this have so little views?

The hills do indeed have eyes

11:28 "It's more of a cat than the landscape was."

Am I the only one who really wants computerphile2 with math and stuff?

‘I’m all ears.'

"Are you sure, that's how it works?" - Google Engineer

Absolutely awesome video. This guy is not only smart but also teaches in a very entertaining way. More of him please!

Digital cloud gazing basically. "Whoa, dude! That cloud looks like a cat. And that too. And that one looks like a bunch of cats." "You are obsessed with cats, Jim."

This guy is certainly forward-thinking when it comes to shelf space for books.

I mean, cats are basically just a bag of fur with ears and eyes.

Thank you for this great explanation. I love programming and have started taking interest in neural nets! This really gives me a lot to think about. Perhaps giving lower-lever nodes weight for what the hit is NOT can help ascertain the weight of a node from a newer generations' determined context via back propagation. I expect a door across the room from me because I am aware that I am in a room. If all of the sudden I were to see a giant walrus instead of my door; it would be obvious my context was wrong. I'm either dreaming or crazy. Even psychologically speaking, we see more of what we think and see. If I'm constantly bombarded with cat images, I would most likely start seeing cat faces everywhere. If I am in my living room; I know what should typically not exist in a room from being in various rooms over the course of my lifetime. Anything unexpected, and my brain just fills in the blanks because things out of context get forced into a context that fits. Deep Dream is only going off the life it's lived, and is already exhibiting all these emergent properties I'm not hip to all the terminology; but I'm definitely fascinated.

I get the feeling Mike has accidentally dashed a line across his monitor at least once while pointing to it with a marker like that. - 1:13

1:11 his face brought so much joy and enthusiasm. i love this guy.

I saw this movie earlier today and later saw Jason Bourne in the cinema. JB also has a computer related Deep Dream in it. I couldn't help thinking about this movie, of course. Anyhow, Mike and Brady, thanks again for a great computerphile episode.

You can't change C, it's the speed of light.

Most pointless shelves ever. :)

I guess this is one of the coolest videos in this channel

what a pleasant voice to listen to

those deep dream pictures always give me a shiver...

I really love this series, Dr Pound

Thank you for this! I'm a pro video editor, but I don't know the first thing about programming. I recently learned about altering video images using a neural network, and this is the first resource I've found that can break it down in a way I start to understand. Thanks!

What an excellent explanation of such a tricky topic

mike pound is the best!

"I want more bits of cat!" sounded kinda creepy :x

I do essentially the same thing when I use the bathroom and look for hidden pictures in the linoleum. Mind = Blown.

The camera man of ComputerPhile is going to become expert in all fields of computer

After my exams I'm making it my mission to watch every single Computerphile video ever. Also, I wonder if these guys are mini celebrities on Notts campus in the UK. I know that's how I'd see them lol

"I want more ears, I want more paws, I want more bits of cat." - Dr. Mike Pound, 2016

"It's only for fun!" - Illuminati

i love the vids with this guy, he's great

I love videos with Mike.

So if I got this right its something like this: "This leaf looks like a cat-feature, let's put more things with cat-features in the picture." Right?

That empty shelf somehow bothers me... those books need some company

LSD must have some similar mechanism. these images and the deep dream videos available on YT, especially the famous grocery store video, look extremely similar to what happens with high doses of LSD

Art Project A+. Thanks Google!

What is it that makes this computer generated artwork look so psychedelic? It's amazing how accurately this network represents the visual effects of a psychedelic experience. I have not ever seen a human artist represent this in such a way, and I have been looking. I am dying to know if there is some connection between the human brain under the influence of LSD and this network.I would love to get an experienced neurologist and a neural network engineer in the same room for a discussion on this subject. It is fascinating!....will Google make custom prints of this to order ? I need to go find out~~~see ya!

i love this guy, he explains these things so well :D

@6:55 you've never seen a rabbit fox bird before?

Better than most art I've seen.

"I want more ears, I want more paws, I want more bits of cat."

That's the emptiest bookshelf I've seen on a computerphile/numberphile video

Dang, even Cyriac isn't safe from robots encroaching on his job.

I’ve always been interested at how AI image generations feel very similar to the kinds of images you get when half asleep, as your dreams start to form but aren’t fully consolidated. I wonder if it’s coincidental or if this is truly an instrumental part of visualization.

I would be curious to hear his explanation on psychedelic visuals, like what people see on LSD

AI imagiage generation has advanced a lot since then with Dalle 2, Midjourny and stable dffusion.

What I think would be interesting to see is a network that was let's say, specifically trained to identify cats and not give it any input but tell it to maximize on the highest level the feature "cat" itself so find out what in the eye of the network the optimal cat is.

What an excellent demonstration of ML...

One thing that wasn't explained (or I missed it) was: how exactly are the images changed to have the result we want? What operations are applied to the image to give the result that decreases the error?

11:44 Trypophobiacs: **cringes**

This channel makes me wish I went to Nottingham university so bad

Computers are officially better artists than I am. Wonderful.

This is so incredible and interesting and I know it's going to be so interesting for AI and recognition, but... I couldn't even look at those last images I was so freaked out. They are just as disturbing as any post-modern human art I've ever seen. Straight nightmare-fuel.

12:15 _hybrid baby things that give me nightmares_ 😂

Lol, the changes that has happened over 8 years in generative AI is surreal. mind blown by the leap DL has gone through

I like how bare the bookshelf in the background is, haha.

All I see is Trypophobia

the picture at 6:41 was not included in the zip file. there is a file named generalimage, but this is actually moreiterations, while the moreiterations file is a cropped version of the same image.

he was still rockin windows 7 even 6 years ago. man i wish there was some sort of community driven effort to get windows 7 up and ready for modern use :/ rip win 7

best artist ive ever seen

I wonder, what if we design a neural network that can learn from 3D models instead of just pictures? Wouldn't the recognition result be better?

When I was in short pants, not a teenager, I was playing with S.LA.M. models on a calculator. Over 40 years later we have made a little progress. Same story, more horse power. Glad I did not hold my breath.

Did anyone else keep getting distracted by his cool mechanical watch?

omg the people one! so trippy. I am really intrigued by this. great video!

Get you some more books! Just being flippant, this was a really cool video.

Spiderman taught me some Computer Science...........

*MAXIMISE THE **_E A R S_*

Ah yes, the Google horrifying surrealistic nightmare generator.

my cat's breath smells like cat food.

I enjoyed this video like a child! congratulations

Geeeeez, the noise of the pen on the paper makes my back crawl

You could have essentially had your entire interview up in those unused shelves tbh.

Please do one of these on the neural artistic style algorithm as well! They are great

It needs to be 'aimed' at diseases, specifically genetic ones. For some reason the pastoral scene with the lower level 'thinger' working overtime put me in mind of Cancer. A low-level structure that gets a disproportionation amount of 'attention' and the expression of the excess 'work' is a higher level granularity. Like a fractal with a 'tick' in one of the lower levels of iteration, the natural patterns have no choice but to build on the 'wiggly' pattern set at the < 0.5mm [ the size a typical cancer gets it's own blood supply ].

This would be a very powerful photoshop tool if you could manually type in what you want. Could you imagine just typing in "remove this tree" and it does it instantly?

I personally think "Google Dream" is an AI system thats learning different images which we upload into it and by doing this they can eventually release a search engine, in the near future based on images. Meaning you can search by images and very accurately.

Surely he hasn't red all the books on that shelf

11:54 The sound of a billion trypophobes crying out at once and never stopping.

Elements of Statistical Learning on the shelf...I approve...

So is the Prisma app based on a lower level neuron network?

If you stacked a series of those together, could you build a slightly mad version of Sherlock Holmes "Science of Deduction" machine? Something for a Dr Who episode?

Deep Dream has gotten even better since the time of this video, which as of now was only a week ago. The AI I has actually gone kind of crazy by turning everything into faces of cats and dogs and birds, hybrid fish snail frogs. It's creating new creatures out of other animals' features. It's pretty amazing.

That's way too many eyes. I can't sleep no more

can someone from his home country verify whether he has a speech impediment or not? I find him difficult to listen to and I don't know if it's his region or if he actually has a different way of talking.

Last images are somewhat haunting

people are kind of like deep dream, (is deepdream a GAN?) everyone has different weights that happen throughout their lifetimes and can change a viewpoint. would be an interesting collab, psychology, sociology and neural learning

Best explanation yet

They think it's just fun. They don't know yet how much of a contribution these videos are for the development of AI.

please correct me if im wrong but does this instantly invalidate all forms of CAPTCHA for bot protection with correct weight editing of a neural network? it will just be able to return a very high probability of letters also googles new reCAPTCHA service, "please click all the pictures with trees" could be completely implied

Am I the only one who is terrified by the cat-like landscapes? I'm not afraid of insects, darkness, horror movies, heights - I don't seem to fear the usual 'scary' things, but this stuff gives me horrific creeps.

This is cool but it reeeeally bugged me how he left the cap off the marker for so long.

11:27 It's more of a cat than the landscape was
