Chapter 7: Semi-Supervised Learning
Machine learning has been used for a long time to recognize patterns. However, recently the idea that machines can be used to create patterns has caught the imagination of everyone. The idea of machines being able to create art by mimicking known artistic styles or, given any input, provide a human-like perspective as output has become the new frontier in machine learning.
Most of the Deep Learning models we have seen thus far have been either about recognizing images (using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture), generating text (with Transformers), or generating images (Generative Adversarial Networks). However, we as humans don't always view objects purely as text or images in real life but rather as a combination of them. For example, an image in a Facebook post or a news article will likely be accompanied by some comments describing it. Memes are a popular way of creating humor by combining catchy images with smart text...
