At Stanford, taught a neural network to create memes

Researchers from Stanford University have created a system based on artificial intelligence that is able to generate memes.

Однажды я сделала мем. Это было ужасно
I once made a meme. It was awful

Abel Pearson (Abel Peirson) and Meltem Tolunay (Meltem Tolunay) trained a machine learning algorithm to associate images with a text of more than 400 thousands of memes with different captions. The source of the “world of wisdom” was the website memegenerator.com. To simplify the task, researchers focused on type memes “advice animals”.

Эй, чувак, я слышал, ты любишь мемы. Так вот, однажы мне попала стрела в коленку

Hey man, I heard you like memes. So, once I got an arrow in the knee

Переходи на тёмную сторону

Cross to the dark side

Of course, some of the generated neural network memes look and sound weird, but others came out quite “human”. A group of test subjects were able to distinguish computer-generated memes in 70% of cases. For the most part, to distinguish the human meme-machine work, focusing on the quality of the jokes.
