The rules do allow an album of similar images.

Yes, the link is correct. I was a bit unconfortable tagging this as OC given that I didn't drew this, per se. I generated this using AI (Stylegan2). A worthwhile use of Google Colab's GPU power, obviously.

Interesting. So you train them using Marisa portraits and Then AI generate these pictures. Am I understand correctly or missing somethings? Can you tell me more the details

[–]Jepacor[S] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

That's the short of it, yeah. Fanarts on danbooru that are tagged as Marisa portraits, more or less (kirisame_marisa, solo, looking_at_viewer are the tags I used to filter) are extracted, and are cropped so that only the faces are shown. After that there's a whole lot of making the data clean, and then you can train it.

To train it I'm using transfer learning : rather than starting from scratch it starts from a network that is already trained to spit out artfully create anime portraits, which makes the process much faster. This is the result after less than 5 hours of learning. (training from scratch using the same GPU power that Colab provides would take a few weeks continuously, and even then I think that estimate is on the optimistic side of things.)

I'm not actually pionnering anything - This is mostly following a blueprint laid out by u/gwern to get my feet wet in deep learning and using Google Colab. He made a blogpost with pretty much all the details (and the code, though it takes a bit of reworking to get it to work on Colab). This is the post with all the details if you're interested.

Thanks. That's really useful. I'm a bit surprise that I found AI around here.

well, if it was Alice she wouldn't just go for the face, though :>
