Alex Cloud, from Riot Games, came in to talk and teach us about some new statistical concepts. Including, luck/skill in games, estimands, estimators, and more. I got a lot of new takes on statistics and how it works its way into lots of things from this talk. We also got to play around with the neural network called DALL-E. Its function is to take captions produced by people and create AI-generated photos from the caption given. He let us play around with the AI and make different captions for the AI to try and recreate, some turned out really great, some didn’t fit the concept we were looking for, and some looked like it was pulled off of DeviantArt (an art sharing platform) haha
Here are some examples taken from the DALL-E website of what the AI can recreate with those given captions.
