Abstract

The age of creative machines is afoot. I will review the recent state of the art applications of generative deep learning algorithms in image processing, language modeling, and media arts. I will also exhibit my digital artwork and perform live demos of the new generation of deep learning algorithms. I will also present my latest work, "The Art of Deep Learning", which is a collection of short videos and slides that demonstrate the power of deep learning.

He is a mentor for Google Launchpad and gives lectures and workshops for both professionals and the general public. Eyal is also a new-media artist creating interactive installations and computer generated art. https://www.linkedin.com/in/eyalgruss

How do you draw Math?

Those who studied advanced math won’t hesitate to discuss it in terms of “beauty”.

Mathematician Johnathan David Farley said : "You do not study mathematics because it helps you build a bridge. You study mathematics because it is the poetry of the universe. Its beauty transcends mere things."
How can you convey the beauty of math, to non mathematicians?

In the lecture, we’ll review mathematical definitions and theorems, explain their meanings, and discuss how to translate them into art.

The lecture will be followed by a practical exercise where we’ll write a Python program to convert pictures into paintings using Voronoi decomposition.

Ayelet Sapirshtein is an algorithm developer and artist
