24 alternatives to A machine learning Rails app to predict your favorite color

I'm nearing completion of the machine learning class offered online by Stanford (Prof. Andrew Ng is awesome). I wanted to try out some of the concepts I learned so I made up this little Rails app. I doubt if you can actually predict someone's favorite color based on a few preference, but we'll see how it looks after a few (thousand?) examples. I'm still working on it, but it's in a working state and I'm collecting all the data I want, so I can always rehash it later to tweak the algo. Any suggestions for a more interesting set of data to form predictions on? http://colorsvm.herokuapp.com/…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

    I had this idea kicking around in my head for quite a while. Took an evening to make this, and a short morning to polish it a bit. So here it is!

    Hi HN, I’m Emil, the maker behind Palette. I’ve been tinkering with AI and colorization for about five years. This is my latest colorization model. It’s a text-based AI colorizer, so you can edit the colorizations with natural language. To make it easier to use, I also automatically create captions and generate filters. Let me know what you think. You can see some of my results on my reddit page: https://www.reddit.com/user/emilwallner/?sort=top

    I crawled lots of websites and extracted their color palettes (primary, secondary, etc) to build a searchable collection of website colors! It was a fun side-project and I learned a lot about color theory. Let me know what you think and what features you would like to see :) If you have any questions about the tech behind it, feel free to ask in the comments. Feedback is also greatly appreciated.

    This is a personal project I've been working on for a long time now. I stumbled upon the color quantization problem while doing something related for work. I then found an interesting paper for which I could find no implementations online, and the thing went from "let's implement this paper" to getting pretty obsessed with the whole thing. It's at an early, eaaaarly stage. There's a lot of work to be done, and it's a memory hog, but generally speaking works quite well, and the output is for the most part very high quality, so I'm happy to share it as beta.

    I built this API to return the closest named color for any hex value—using curated lists like my own [1], XKCD [2], and others. I made it from scratch without Express or any frameworks because: - I’m a frontend/interaction dev and wanted to learn how to build an API from the ground up. - Existing APIs didn’t guarantee unique names per color—mine does. - It also supports WebSocket updates, gzip responses, and multiple name sets. I’ve been collecting color names for over 10 years [1]. With ~30,000 entries, bundling them into every color-related project became excessive. This API keeps…

    I'm a iOS and Mac developer and the thing that mostly bothered me when I first started learning Cocoa programming was the lack of full featured sample code. Now things have changed and more projects have been released, but I still want to do my part. I've already released Color Picker Pro for Mac: https://raw.github.com/oscardelben/Color-Picker-Pro This time I built a copy of the iPhone Calculator which (I hope) will be simple to follow for beginners: https://github.com/oscardelben/iPhoneCalculator I hope this will be useful to people who are learning Cocoa. Feedbacks are very appreciated.
