Converting your pictures into cartoons using GANs, a detailed guide on Performers & an AI-powered design assistant in today’s Data Science Daily 📰
Cartoonify is an application that turns pictures into cartoons using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) by Ahmed Besbes, an AI -Deep Learning engineer, Blogger and Creative problem solver.
This is a beginner-friendly guide which features a machine learning application with a heavy model on the backend, a React user-friendly interface on the frontend, and a serverless cloud architecture all around so that the project is scalable to tens, hundreds, or even thousands of users.
He has created a video series, medium article and has also shared the code (links below) to the project!
Topics covered:
- Generative Adversarial Networks — more specifically the CartoonGAN model
- Deploying a model on serverless AWS architecture
- Building a custom React front-end
- Deploying the React interface on Netlify

Google AI recently released a paper, Rethinking Attention with Performers (Choromanski et al., 2020), which introduces Performer, a Transformer architecture which estimates the full-rank-attention mechanism using orthogonal random features to approximate the softmax kernel with linear space and time complexity.
This article provides a detailed and well-written explanation of its working and how it paves way for future advancements in Machine Learning.
