Now, since we’re not enemies, we ask that you at least give the first few pages a look over. Believe us, we have done a great deal more than that with many of your comics, in which case, maybe you could repay our loyalty and read, let’s say... ten pages? If after that attempt you put it aside we shall be sorry. For you! If the a bove seems flippant, please forgive us. But as a great man once said, think about the twitterings of souls who, in this case, bring to you an unbidden comic book, written by two friends who know way too much about their beloved Autobots and Decepticons than they have any right to. We ask that you remember your own such twitterings, and look upon our work as a gift of creative cohesion. A new take on the ever-growing, nostalgic-cravings of a generation now old enough to afford all the proverbial ‘cool toys’. As two long-term Transformers fans, we have seen the highs-and-lows of the franchise come and go.

  • Bumblebee: Text-To-Image Generation with Transformers
    Bumblebee: Text-to-Image Generation with Transformers Nathan A. Fotedar, Julia H. Wang Department of Computer Science Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 nfotedar@ jwang22@ Abstract While image captioning and segmentation have been widely explored, the reverse problem of image generation from text captions remains a difficult task. The most successful attempts currently employ GANs; however, in this paper we explore a variational autoencoder model with transformers. The motivation for applying transformers to the task of text-to-image generation comes from recent success in applying attention to it (with the AttnGAN model cite. Many researchers have achieved improvements over attention based models by applying transformers, so it seemed that transformers could aid this task as well. The VAE transformer model was ultimately unable to recreate the performance of the more traditional GAN models, and our results suggest that the use of GANs might be key to the text-to-image generation task. 1 Introduction The problem of generating images from natural language descriptions in an automated fashion is fundamental to a variety of important applications, ranging from computer assisted design to computer generated art. Apart from applications more directly related to human tasks, the ability for a computer to generate art further allows us to explore how much creativity can be expressed a computer, and how this may speak to the general intelligence a computer may be able to posses. Moreover, it sheds light on the sort of work than can be done at the intersection of natural language processing and computer vision. When exploring a task in multi-modal learning such as this one, additional challenges of proper data encoding and proper evaluation metrics arise, but tackling such problems is fundamental if we hope to one day build computer systems which are able to properly mimic the functions of the human mind.
