Originally a subfield of artificial intelligence, machine learning has now established itself as an important research direction. The main purpose of machine learning is to develop mathematical models by learning from data. Machine learning plays a crucial role in many research areas and is part of an overall process in many industrial directions. In particular, Deep learning systems serve as a supportive instrument for artists to experiment and explore new, creative avenues. Examples include style transfer in painting, music production, or even the creation of poetry. The workshop also aims to explore artificial creativity and to underpin this new artistic form by developing appropriate tools. The exchange with colleagues from the arts is important here and is explicitly supported with this workshop.
This workshop is about the concrete contribution of Machine Learning to the field of Arts. Participants will also present their own vision through numerous works of their own, such as programming works or substantial research overviews, thus motivating Machine Learning as an important component of modern AI for a new kind of creativity.
Topics include:
Machine learning and photo style transfer, Machine learning and music composition, Machine learning for text generation, Machine learning for the performing arts or any other field related to the Arts
