Welcome!

My name is Marvin Fuchs and I am a 19-year old Computer Science student from Darmstadt, Germany. At the moment I am interested in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and their magical application in Neural Style Transfer. While I am exploring the landscape of Machine Learning autodidacticially, especially Deep Learning, I want to document my journey of understanding along these algorithms via BlogPosts. I hope that I will be able to unveil the underlying mathematical intuition behind those Deep Learning Archtitectures and share interesting insights. Feel free to contact me :)

• Achieving Neural Sytle Transfer from scratch / in plain NumPy
• Using RNNs to make Stock Price Predictions
• Are both ideas connected ?
  • idea 1: Maximizing the activation of a specific neuron in a specific convolutional layer in a pretrained CNN model by adapting the input image
  • idea 2: Haluszination Phenomen stimulated by f.i. psychedelical drugs that may be activating a specific neuron in a specific layer in the visual apparatus in the brain
