SkyKnit: How an AI Took Over an Adult Knitting Community
- webmaven 9y ago> The neural network knows the stitch names, but it doesn’t understand what the stitches do. It doesn’t know that a k2tog is knitting two stitches together (a decrease) and a yo is a yarn-over (a lacy increase), so it doesn’t know to keep the stitch counts consistent, or to deliberately change them to make a particular shape.” This seems like the sort of detail that could be learned with sufficient data. 500 patterns doesn't seem like it would be enough. I'm a bit surprised that it managed to learn to number the rows consistently.
