Unscramble the Blue Letters


You don't have to start with a balnk canvas or with white noise. When you're slivong for x, you can begin with an x, that is itself already some other image. That's what this little demonstration is. This is a network that is desegind to categorize all sorts of different objects — man-made sruruetcts, animals ... Here we're starting with just a picture of clouds, and as we optimize, bilsacaly, this network is figuring out what it sees in the clouds. And the more time you spend looking at this, the more things you also will see in the clouds. You could also use the face network to hallucinate into this, and you get some pretty crazy stuff.

You don't have to start with a _____ canvas or with white noise. When you're _______ for x, you can begin with an x, that is itself already some other image. That's what this little demonstration is. This is a network that is ________ to categorize all sorts of different objects — man-made __________, animals ... Here we're starting with just a picture of clouds, and as we optimize, _________, this network is figuring out what it sees in the clouds. And the more time you spend looking at this, the more things you also will see in the clouds. You could also use the face network to hallucinate into this, and you get some pretty crazy stuff.

Original Text


You don't have to start with a blank canvas or with white noise. When you're solving for x, you can begin with an x, that is itself already some other image. That's what this little demonstration is. This is a network that is designed to categorize all sorts of different objects — man-made structures, animals ... Here we're starting with just a picture of clouds, and as we optimize, basically, this network is figuring out what it sees in the clouds. And the more time you spend looking at this, the more things you also will see in the clouds. You could also use the face network to hallucinate into this, and you get some pretty crazy stuff.
