Midjourney, DALL-E [1], and Stable Diffusion [2] are now taking the spotlight for image generation based on prompts, and for a good reason, because the results are amazing. But at the level of an individual and not an organization like Open-AI, what is possible to generate by training a model from scratch, and what can we learn along the way? Through this educational project and article, this is the question we will try to answer.
For that purpose, let’s implement a generative model. More precisely, let’s implement a Deep Convolutional Generative… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
