In plain words

This Food Does Not Exist is an AI-powered tool that generates images of fictional food dishes that don't exist in reality. Using machine learning, the platform creates original and imaginative food photos for entertainment and creative purposes. It's designed for users interested in food creativity, AI capabilities, or simply looking for amusing visual content. The tool demonstrates how artificial intelligence can generate realistic-looking but entirely invented culinary creations.

From the sources

We trained StyleGAN2 models to generate food pictures. The images below are all synthetic! This work was done by Martin Müller and Florian Laurent in partnership with the Food & You project by the Digital Epidemiology Lab at EPFL . In this context, we are researching the potential of synthetic data augmention for vision tasks. This research is part of the technology underlying our AI-generated photography platform Nyx.gallery . You can also follow our work on 🐦 Twitter . The code optimized for TPU training as well as the pretrained models are openly available. 🍒 The sample above are cherry-picked: check out the Colab notebook to generate your own, or train your own model .

  • Pipes puzzle (a.k.a. Net) on a hexagonal grid▲537

    Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…
