Bitmap Bees<\/strong>
Bitmap bees are agents for drilling down to the bits in digital images and other digital materials. The project is part of my exploration of what goes on inside the machine when it\u2019s doing things. I present this little collection of programs and hardware as an experimental book form in its embryonic stage though it may become something else entirely. This particular stage may be called Queen Bee. It comprises machine generated text about research into bitmap bees and facial recognition, a garden path and a bitmap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iter 50000
<\/strong>Handmade with love \u2013 for a machine learning to write by reading Finnegans Wake <\/strong>by James Joyce.<\/strong> The pamphlet contains results from 50000 iterations of a recurrent neural network [rnn] at work. You can see the progress of its understanding by comparing early iterations with later results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
