kidzik··on Reinforcement learning with musculoskeletal models
Absolutely, however, you will need to construct a muscle model for horses. The human model is a result of decades of research, MRIs etc.
kidzik··on Reinforcement learning with musculoskeletal models
In the 2017 challenge yes. This year we are using a 3d model.

That's only one-side of the story. It is actually a very accurate contact model. The problem is that it's also computationally expensive and therefore we reduce the stiffness of objects to make it faster. It's basically a trade-off between the accuracy and speed. In gaming engines you have speed and it looks good, but then it's impossible to generalize for real-life applications (because the contact is inaccurate).

I've just checked with Gini and GDP per capita. No correlations :/
kidzik··on Visual Turing Test
Thanks! We teamed up with the authors of the original algorithm and Leon figured out quickly how to improve resolution.

The second one is actually painted by Francoise Nielly http://www.galeries-bartoux.com/fr/artistes/francoise-nielly...

https://deepart-io.s3.amazonaws.com/hi-res/leon3.jpg - hi-res version of the algorithm is ready. Soon we will make the second edition of the test, stay tuned.
kidzik··on Visual Turing Test
Indeed. We haven't pass yet - that's the first attempt though. Still only 66% of human accuracy is quite remarkable.

Here are the results so far http://turing.deepart.io:3838/

I am sorry, I didn't mean any legal accusation - it just feels a little odd that the description of the app sounds as if you invented the technology without ever referring to the original work.
kidzik··on Pikazo
No nasty implications sounds fair to me. Good luck!

"Stiefvater [...] described it to me as 'black magic,' and doesn’t even fully understand how it works. He downloaded it from Github, where a computer programmer he’s never met posted it."

Indeed, there is a bug in submission form. You can register with longer emails through the registration form. Thanks for reporting the error.

Thank you very much! As these are recent changes which we haven't tested live, your comments are very useful and we are actually implementing them now.
kidzik··on Pikazo
Given that we are discussing it in the comments of the app who just misappropriated the algorithm, I unfortunately have to refuse your request for the moment, sorry. We love open research and open source but there is always some risk involved.

Definitely it all requires more explanation as we take it for granted but for users it is not clear what is happening

Unfortunately "I want it now" is not possible for the moment as the computations are really heavy and there is a lot of people who want to use it. But we also have some ideas for that.

Now our focus is the quality, regardless the cost. We increased the resolution and we try to make things faster. Later we will figure out how to make it more sustainable.

I really appreciate your suggestions.

kidzik··on Pikazo
Good point, thanks! We actually had one, but we removed it in the current version (it seemed natural for us but it obviously is not) - we will bring it back.

We simply have limited resources for servers, but still want to provide the highest quality possible in the free version. That's why there is a queue, but we are working hard to make the implementation faster and more efficient :)

And now at http://deepart.io/ we have hi-resolution and the authors of the algorithm on-board. Thanks for mentioning us :)
