Saturday, March 30th from 4 to 7pm

From an early age I was fascinated with art and spent a lot of my time drawing or painting stimulating my imagination and creativity. After 23 years at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center working on building neural networks, part of Deep Learning, to solve challenging issues (see the press releases below), I always want to explore how the machine learning can support human creativity in art. Randomness is a key factor in the real world and in art. By using the neural networks and other deep learning tools that can generate random combination of visual texture and style, it emerges new horizons into the art composition. Based on my personal studies and interpretations, I apply my sense of order and play to the images and materials at hand but I’m never quite sure how a painting will look until it’s finished.
