Would you mind elaborating a bit more on what you mean? It's very fashionable to be concerned about model bias at the moment, but it's not clear to me what the issue you're describing would be? Something like: trees would end up looking too much like the same tree?
- jalk 5y agoThe “worry” here is that everything produced will look similar and hence will become boring at some point.
- w1nk 5y agoRight, that was the assumption I was alluding to at the end of my comment. That said, it still doesn't fully resolve the question and unfortunately leaves the statement in handwaving territory still. 'boring' isn't really a measurement we can take and discuss super effectively, but we do have actual metrics across visual datasets that span basically all of what you might see as a human. By chance, are you aware of any research on this topic?
- patrick451 5y agoI would say it leaves the statement in hypothesis territory, not hand-waving territory. If we can't discuss or measure "boring" effectively, that is a problem with our instruments and vocabulary, not the assertion. "Boring" is an absolutely crucial thing to be worried about when it comes to anything remotely artistic.
- w1nk 5y agoIt's not a hypothesis though, there's nothing that we can test in it. As presented, it's an assertion that has zero evidence to support it. That's the part I was hoping to get some actual clarification and precision on. When discussing machine learning, bias is a term that has a quantifiable definition in it's different contexts....boring doesn't. It's just FUD to snipe this kind of work with some kind of 'bias' fear without any additional evidence or thought.
