in prep for tomorrow’s first Advanced StyleGAN class I added a bilateral symmetry alignment tool to my dataset-tools library.
made some machine learning flowers riso frame animation in @kellianderson’s class this weekend!
seems like its gotten better at centering, but still oddly not perfect
only trained for a couple days but im kinda surprised the model hasnt learned to center all the flowers yet. possibly augmentation, possibly from transfer learning. gonna let it ride for a while.
I’ll probably drop these on the internet archive when I have a better connection
(dont think these are originals btw, but photographic prints from the original plates) 
"the cat is a flower" from Ryan’s latest Aleph2Image notebook
Thanks @chrismartz!!! I think we’ve unlocked the animation now...I can probably get it done this weekend (and as a bonus will add some new stuff to the sg2-ada-pt repo)
