Artificial Intelligence Game for Still Life Composition. AVACA is a made-up name for a game available for free on Google Play, which is about competing with Artificial Intelligence to find the best composition for a still life painting.
The game is available here. Or here through my website. Inspired by the work of the Italian painter Giorgio Morandi, the game tries to simulate the artistic effort required to position some objects for a still life painting while competing with artificial intelligence. The algorithm is trained with a collection of 3D models compositions similar in arrangement to the paintings of Giorgio…
My Khe Nguyen provided to the Kaggle community a dataset that has the last words of death row inmates. The data contains information on inmates executed by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice from 1982 to November 8th, 2017. Texas adjusted its legislation and allowed for capital punishment in 1973. Texas adopted execution by lethal injection in 1977 and in 1982, the starting year of the dataset, the first offender was executed by this method.
The original data comes from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice website and includes the picture of the inmate and the last statements along with…
This article is about Machine Learning prediction using data collected from a website and google trend. It is a toy example that assumes a correlation between the keyword “coffee” search on Google and the historical price of coffee. The example shows how to combine different sources of data in a library called Prophet to make multivariate future predictions (Figure 1 shows the final output of the learning exercise). To get the data from this website I used Selenium and Pytrend to access the information from Google trend. The full code implementation can be found here on my GitHub account.
The k-nearest neighbours’ algorithm (kNN) is a non-parametric machine learning method used for classification and regression. It is non-parametric because the model does not learn any parameters to make correct predictions. Instead, it will look at closest training examples (the number of examples depends on the k selected by the user) in feature space. When used for classification, the output is a class group. An object is classified by a plurality vote of its neighbours, with the item being assigned to the class most common among its k nearest neighbours. When used for regression, the output is the average of…
The whole concept of machine learning is figuring out ways in which we can teach a computer to perform a task without needing to provide explicit instructions.
For example, we might want to instruct a machine to recognise the brand of a bottle of wine. The first step would be to enter a wine shop with some lab tools and write down wine characteristics for all the bottles of wine. …
