Sure, my team and I created “style transfer” GANs to help people better understand particular data in light of other data (the latter of which is usually easier to understand but not always available in practice). It ended up getting strongly positive feedback from large stakeholders, we secured a large contract to deploy, and deployed / maintain it as a SaaS. I even got a patent for the work! I’m sorry I can’t be too much more specific. But, it’s also partially why I may come across as slightly annoyed with the presentation here — HuggingFace is 100% something with functionality I would have preferred to leverage versus my team needing to handle modeling, training, building, releasing, deploying, SLAs, etc. And I would love to support them. But all the presentations being rudimentary with poor UX makes it difficult for me to use them to convince people of this fact, so it’s harder for me to get buy in from finance than it might otherwise be if HF released polished, well thought out demos.
As an aside. I do not personally feel the future of generative modeling is in generative art or creating new Pokémon or things like that, categories which broadly seem like neat tricks without real world usefulness or at least adoption.
