What are the most fun-to-play-with open source deep learning projects?

Question

I have temporary access to a monster PC (32core thread ripper + 2x2080ti).I've been playing with deep fakes which is fun (I look good as Neo fighting Morpheus).But what other fun + awesome open source projects can I run with it before I have to give it back?I'm a programmer (making apps, websites, games etc). But don't have a lot of deep learning experience though want to learn.Any suggestions?Thanks!

I've been playing with reinforcement learning on simulated robots, using OpenAI Gym[0] and PyBullet[1].
I find it interesting because, in theory, the learned policies transfer to real-world robots, and the time is nigh for development in that area. Plus you get to watch it do funky robot shit and slowly get better.
If you want a quick way to dive in, I have a repo[2] I've been using to train on a variety of PCs and Google Colab[3]. The task is a Panda robot pushing a randomly placed object. I had some trouble getting it all working with recent Keras at first, so my repo might save you time.
Email me[4] if you get stuck.

Finetuning a GPT-2 model on logs from a chatting server like IRC or Discord you're active in, then writing a bot to generate messages from a prompt using the model.

I recently played around with a lib called Detectio which was super fun and met my needs.
Like you, I have barely any ML experience so it was nice to be able to still finish what I set out to achieve.
I write a simple tutorial and sample code base -> https://ajaxdavis.com/post/An-Open-Source-Computer-vision-mo...

LOL, that's not a monster PC for deep learning :) I was going to suggest https://github.com/openai/jukebox/ but with 2080Ti it's going to be tough. You might be able to do some sampling with the smallest lyrics set, idk.

If you like deepfakes, you'll love playing with Runway ;) (based on StyleGAN transfer)

Or for a real competition, the OpenAI ProcGen Benchmark is really heating up!

Have you done the https://www.fast.ai/ course? Paperspace also offers free Juypter notebooks once you need to return your computer.

Can I ask how/where you got access to that PC? Purely curious :-)

Starlink satellites for microgrids ML. Classify power grids ammendable to MICROGRIDS ML. Use Geni.org power grid maps or California ISO maps. What is the right size for redundant wind/solar based microgrids?

How do you generate deep fakes? I'd like to play around with that.
