I'll dedicate this rambling thread of words to the linguist Ray Jackendoff who studies semantics + computational theory of mind. This paragraph from his monograph debating the merits of studying the details individual words vs patters across many words is one of my favourites.

Here's a link to my colab if you'd like to give it a go yourself. This codebase builds off of previous work from many people including @advadnoun @RiversHaveWings @NerdyRodent as well as ClipDraw from @kvfrans @crosslabstokyo @err_more and @okw.

And my next step with these is finding ways of limiting the color palette. If you enjoy this work and would like to contribute (and are comfortable with pytorch) feel free to offer up coding suggestions in this github issues thread. github.com/dribnet/clipit…
