Today I want to discuss purely about coding itself. I wish this post is helpful for someone want to transit his career from a pure researcher to a programmer. I have been a researcher rather than a programmer. I would just want to execute something to see the result I wanted to see. If the run time is too long or my computer has no enough memory to run the code, it was a sign of new purchase to me.

A few days ago, I was asked what the variational method is, and I found my previous post, Variational Method for Optimization, barely explain some basic of variational method. Thus, I would do it in this post. Data concerned in machine learning are ruled by physics of informations. It sounds quite abstract, so I will present an example of dynamic mechanics. Let us consider a ball thrown with velocity v=($v_x$, $v_y$) at x = (x, y), and under the vertical gravity with constant g.

Around a week ago, on ArXiv, an interesting research paper appeared, which is about the music style transfer using GAN, which is also my main topic for recent few months. Around a week ago, on arXiv, an interesting research paper appeared, which can be applied to the music style transfer using GAN, which is also my main topic for recent few months. There are already many researches on the style transfer of the images, and one of my main projects now is making the style transfer in music.

I want to introduce some GAN model I have studied after I started working for the digital signal process. I will skip technical detail of the introduction. My goal is to provide a minimal background information. Revolution in deep learning As we have seen at the post of VAE, generative model can be useful in machine learning. Not only one can classify the data but also can generate new data we do not have.

NVIDIA research team published a paper, Progressive Growing of GANs for Improved Quality, Stability, and Variation, and the source code on Github a month ago. I went through some trials and errors to run the codes properly, so I want to make it easier to you. Why I think this post will be helpful is the Github page is not supporting to post issues to ask and answer for inquiries.
