Website created to generate fake faces
Each time you refresh the site, the network will generate a new facial image
(Web Desk) – Uber software engineer, created ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com, a website that generates hyper-realistic portraits of people who do not actually exist..
According to details, The site is the creation of Philip Wang, a software engineer at Uber, and uses research released last year by chip designer Nvidia to create an endless stream of fake portraits.
The algorithm behind it is trained on a huge dataset of real images, then uses a type of neural network known as a generative adversarial network (or GAN) to fabricate new examples.
“Faces are most salient to our cognition, so I’ve decided to put that specific pretrained model up. Their research group have also included pretrained models for cats, cars, and bedrooms in their repository that you can immediately use,” he continued.
“Each time you refresh the site, the network will generate a new facial image from scratch from a 512 dimensional vector.” wrote Wang in a Facebook post.
