Man Combines Random People’s Photos Using Neural Networks And The Results Are Amazing

If you're not sure what you're looking at when you look at the pictures below, don't worry, you're probably not alone. But rest assured, your eyes don't need testing and your screen doesn't need fixing. Because these bizarre images, created by users via Russian website Ostagram, are the product of an art technique known as Inceptionism, where images are combined using neural networks to generate a single mind-bending picture.
A neural network is a computational model based on the structure of a biological neural network. In other words, it works like a human brain. Conventional software operates within strict parameters but artificial neural networks have the ability to "learn" by being fed more and more data over time.
The images are possible thanks to DeepDream software, which finds and enhances patterns in images by a process known as algorithmic pareidolia. It was pioneered by Google and was originally code-named Inception after the film of the same name. And looking at these pictures, it’s easy to see why.
If you understand Russian then head over to Ostagram to make your own crazy Inceptionist artwork!

Yes, that's what I thought, too! That app was going around about 2 months ago, no?

we used the same tachnique and model in a short video clip! Hope you like it as well :) https://vimeo.com/215673070
Are these pictures accesible in higher resolution? I would LOVE to print them on my wall!
I see a beautiful symbol of the beautiful interconnectedness of life and death.

those guys basically copied the stuff we invented - if you want to get HD images you should check out the original: http://deepart.io/ Best Leon
So you guys created this? From Google? Or?
http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.06576
Estimated waiting time: 1842.0 minutes
Leon is absolutely correct. This work is by him and his team. http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.06576. It differs from Deep Dream in that it takes two inputs, a "style" image and a "content" image and it reproduces the content image in the target style.
You are correct, Ostagram - wich is linked is published on github as https://github.com/SergeyMorugin/ostagram relies on https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style wich cites Leons original work
Where can i find it in hd definition
Make yours here: http://deepart.io/
How interesting..but this photo with fish and spagetti a horible))(
Why use such a CRAPTACULAR and FAKE title, when you perfectly know that it's craptacular and fake? Just for the sake of click bait?
If you don't understand Russian, there is english locale http://ostagram.ru/?locale=en
Cool beans. Makes me want to learn Russian
I don't understand why the last nine or so were uploaded. Nothing to do with the topic, and some of them looked bad… Disregarding those last few images, these were great. Fun way to waste time.
Totally amazing, including how they are created.

Oops. I read your comment as "how are they created" not "how they are created". It's a good paper regardless :-)
Interesting. What gets low votes if often where an original is perfection and needs no messing with - eg Mona Lisa
If anyone can help me figure out how to use this, would surely appreciate. I've figured out how to translate the website (via google), and I've signed up but now I'm stuck...
Love all the Starry Night mashups!
very interesting!
Nifty!
