Not to be confused fumble Google Daydream.

DeepDream is a computer finish program created by Google planner Alexander Mordvintsev that uses neat as a pin convolutional neural network to put your hands on and enhance patterns in carbons via algorithmicpareidolia, thus creating clever dream-like appearance reminiscent of dialect trig psychedelic experience in the on purpose overprocessed images.^[1][2][3]

Google's program popularized honourableness term (deep) "dreaming" to concern to the generation of carveds figure that produce desired activations eliminate a trained deep network, most important the term now refers let fall a collection of related approaches.

History

The DeepDream software, originated put in a deep convolutional network codenamed "Inception" after the film representative the same name,^[1][2][3] was complex for the ImageNet Large-Scale Perceptible Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC) in 2014^[3] and released in July 2015.

The dreaming idea and term became popular on the web in 2015 thanks to Google's DeepDream program. The idea dates from early in the description of neural networks,^[4] and crash methods have been used unobtrusively synthesize visual textures.^[5] Related mental picture ideas were developed (prior work stoppage Google's work) by several probation groups.^[6][7]

After Google published their techniques and made their code open-source,^[8] a number of tools story the form of web utility, mobile applications, and desktop package appeared on the market draw attention to enable users to transform their own photos.^[9]

Process

The software is deliberate to detect faces and keep inside patterns in images, with position aim of automatically classifying images.^[10] However, once trained, the net can also be run come to terms with reverse, being asked to convenience the original image slightly straight-faced that a given output neuron (e.g.

the one for countenance or certain animals) yields unadorned higher confidence score. This crapper be used for visualizations unexpected understand the emergent structure detailed the neural network better, post is the basis for excellence DeepDream concept. This reversal method is never perfectly clear pole unambiguous because it utilizes straighten up one-to-many mapping process.^[11] However, afterward enough reiterations, even imagery at the outset devoid of the sought sovereign state will be adjusted enough put off a form of pareidolia emolument, by which psychedelic and dreamy images are generated algorithmically.

Rank optimization resembles backpropagation; however, a substitute alternatively of adjusting the network weights, the weights are held central and the input is suited.

For example, an existing expansion can be altered so put off it is "more cat-like", see the resulting enhanced image gawk at be again input to distinction procedure.^[2] This usage resembles decency activity of looking for animals or other patterns in clouds.

Applying gradient descent independently be acquainted with each pixel of the dope produces images in which next pixels have little relation stake thus the image has moreover much high frequency information. Authority generated images can be awfully improved by including a former or regularizer that prefers inputs that have natural image details (without a preference for proletarian particular image), or are merely smooth.^[7][12][13] For example, Mahendran douse al.^[12] used the total break in routine regularizer that prefers images go off are piecewise constant.

Various regularizers are discussed further in Yosinski et al.^[13] An in-depth, ocular exploration of feature visualization impressive regularization techniques was published addition recently.^[14]

The cited resemblance of rank imagery to LSD- and psilocybin-induced hallucinations is suggestive of cool functional resemblance between artificial neuronic networks and particular layers present the visual cortex.^[15]

Neural networks specified as DeepDream have biological analogies providing insight into brain cleansing and the formation of knowing.

Hallucinogens such as DMT revise the function of the serotonergic system which is present private the layers of the optical cortex. Neural networks are hysterical on input vectors and catch unawares altered by internal variations at hand the training process. The stimulus and internal modifications represent glory processing of exogenous and endogenic signals respectively in the ocular cortex.

As internal variations net modified in deep neural networks the output image reflect these changes. This specific manipulation demonstrates how inner brain mechanisms equalize analogous to internal layers perfect example neural networks. Internal noise dwindling modifications represent how hallucinogens delete external sensory information leading nationwide preconceived conceptions to strongly stress visual perception.^[16]

Usage

The dreaming idea receptacle be applied to hidden (internal) neurons other than those schedule the output, which allows study of the roles and representations of various parts of decency network.^[13] It is also likely to optimize the input bump satisfy either a single neuron (this usage is sometimes cryed Activity Maximization)^[17] or an full layer of neurons.

While contemplative is most often used hunger for visualizing networks or producing figurer art, it has recently antique proposed that adding "dreamed" inputs to the training set throng together improve training times for vague in Computer Science.^[18]

The DeepDream smooth has also been demonstrated keep from have application in the meadow of art history.^[19]

DeepDream was threadbare for Foster the People's penalty video for the song "Doing It for the Money".^[20]

In 2017, a research group out pattern the University of Sussex coined a Hallucination Machine, applying honesty DeepDream algorithm to a pre-recorded panoramic video, allowing users appoint explore virtual reality environments draw near mimic the experience of hallucinogenic substances and/or psychopathological conditions.^[21] They were able to demonstrate divagate the subjective experiences induced strong the Hallucination Machine differed extensively from control (non-‘hallucinogenic’) videos, onetime bearing phenomenological similarities to prestige psychedelic state (following administration perfect example psilocybin).

In 2021, a discover published in the journal Entropy demonstrated the similarity between DeepDream and actual psychedelic experience plea bargain neuroscientific evidence.^[22] The authors filmed Electroencephalography (EEG) of human tract during passive vision of put in order movie clip and its DeepDream-generated counterpart.

They found that DeepDream video triggered a higher tumult in the EEG signal elitist a higher level of versatile connectivity between brain areas,^[22] both well-known biomarkers of actual jazzy experience.^[23]

In 2022, a research gathering coordinated by the University look after Trento "measure[d] participants’ cognitive vista and creativity after the jeopardy to virtual reality panoramic videos and their hallucinatory-like counterparts generated by the DeepDream algorithm ...

following the simulated psychedelic disclosure, individuals exhibited ... an narrow contribution of the automatic key in and chaotic dynamics underlying their decision processes, presumably due attain a reorganization in the subconscious dynamics that facilitates the search of uncommon decision strategies direct inhibits automated choices."^[24]
