Electronics #1

      The teacher wanted us to choose a 21st century technology and write about this technology, and what influenced it, so I searched on the internet and I found a news article relating Google DeepDream. DeepDream is a computer visualization tool that was developed at Google's Zurich office (at Zurich, Switzerland) and it was released to the world during the summer of 2014. It's a style of computing inspired by the brain and nervous systems to not only help us learn to recognize shapes in pictures but understand how neural networks work and what each layer has learned. So a network is comprised of sets of ‘neurons’ that are all interconnected and will communicate with each other when given an input (usually a high number of inputs) in order to determine what the correct output might be. They’re used most notably in speech recognition and image classification.

       In this article I found, https://www.inverse.com/article/14608-princeton-undergrad-creates-google-deep-dream-inspired-deepjazz-a-i-music-maker, it talks about a 20-year-old Princeton computer science sophomore named Ji-Sung Kim. It took him 36 hours to complete deepjazz during his first hackathon, HackPrinceton, held on April 1-3 at the university. After finishing a marathon of coding, he created a website for deepjazz, and posted the source code on GitHub. Much to Kim's surprise Deepjazz is steadily trending on Python and GitHub — reaching as high as the top seventh program on GitHub overall. Also, it was featured on the front page of HackerNews and is still generating a lively discussion. Kim repurposed an existing music generator optimized for jazz music that his friend Evan Chow developed called JazzML, using the code to get relevant data but transforming it into a binary matrix that is compatible with the two deep learning libraries Keras and Theano.
