Visual Coding for Creative AI

Using machine learning for non-computer science practitioners can feel daunting. Figment aims to be the easiest tool to get started using AI for creative purposes. Through visual coding you can easily integrate pretrained models into a live setup, or prepare images for training.

In this workshop, we’ll introduce Figment and show how you can use it for realtime machine learning. We’ll also show examples of more advanced techniques with PIX2PIX and overnight training.

Don’t forget to bring your laptop to fully participate in the workshop.
