Talk 1
Bringing back VanGogh - Krishna Sangeeth
@whitetruelearn
"Looks like my system crashed"
about_vanGogh:
Starry Night
cult painting that inspires many
How to recreate this using technology?
VanGogh(content image + style image) -> stylized content image
Not New, But pretty new -> 2015 papers, Prisma App:
Not just filters
styles are learnt from style image
features of content image are maintained
about_deep_neural_networks:
based on human brain nueron
perceptrons
ex1: identifying a car using a deep NN
ex2: identifying edges, curves, eye shape, nose shape etc = identify dog
how to get style and content right:
content will be taken from close to end of content image
style will be taken from close to start of style (first 4 layers)
minimizing_loss_functions:
optimize loss of content and loss of style
use the MS CoCo dataset but only 5K images
Use PyTorch for DNN
- Does not work for pure white (needs research)
------------------------------------------------------
Talk2
Python Immigrants - Parthi
People who are born in late 90s etc are Digital Natives and older
people are Digital Immigrants

Popular Libraries - numpy, scipy, matplotlib, pandas
About AI, ML and DL

Talk3
Vishwanath
Product is more complex than service
the 'ec' library : to make command line parsing simpler:
without arguments, a shell is opened, help is available on shell
has an inbuilt debugger
Click library on github has similar features and 4000 stars
using/reading this code will give a good idea of Python decorators, a
\ very useful feature in Python
----------------------------------------------
Lighting Talk1
Praveen
imgiko app that searches news and gives an image for sharing
ImageMagick port is Python Magick
Lighting Talk2
Shreyas
port something from a language you know
lpthw - it may be paid now
hacker rank - may be too complex
invent with python
pymongo to connect with Mongo
ETL - Python (pandas etc) is really good for these
Reddit has a page for learning python
Do small bits of automation
cheatsheets
David Beazly videos on concurrency etc.
---------------------------------------------
Anyone willing to send a PR to the website adding this in?
Best Regards,
Shrayas
