From time to time I would read some ML/AI/DL papers just to keep up with what’s going on in the tech industry these days — and I thought it might be a good idea to collate some interesting ones and share them with you guys in an article (coupled with some key technical concepts). So here’s a few research projects that I (personally) really like and I hope you will too:

1. Toonify Yourself

Authors: Doron Adler and Justin Pinkney

Starting off with something light-hearted, this fun little project lets you upload your own image and transform yourself into a cartoon. Image processing and manipulation probably isn’t something very new by this point in time but it is still very interesting considering that this site even provides you with the Google Collab file that allows you to try to toonify yourself + allows you to follow along the steps so you can recreate it for yourself.

Some key technical ideas/concepts:
