[Announcement] Art competition (천하제일 AI 그림대회): what does X mean to you?

[KihongHeo]

Hi all,

I believe many of you have heard about the recent news that an AI painter won an art prize (see this news). This means that now you can visualize your abstract idea as a beautiful painting even though you are not good at drawing.

So, I would like to run an AI-based art competition (천하제일 AI 그림대회): What does X mean to you?

Instruction

• Pick a concept X which is any concept you have learned in this class, such as "cryptography", "integrity", "program analysis", etc
• Go to the DALL-E page and make an account. You will get a limited amount of free credits will be given.
• Draw a picture that abstractly represents the concept. You will give a sentence that describes your picture.
• Submit your picture via this issue board. There will be an issue template called "Art competition".
  • Upload your picture in the post
  • Fill in the blank boxes: "For me, [the chosen concept] means [the sentence you used to generate the picture using DALL-E]".
  • Provide a brief description within 3 sentences.

Evaluation

• Each student can submit 3 pictures until May 31.
• Evaluation will be mainly done by TAs and me. But the reaction from other students via Github issues will be considered a lot. The evaluation criteria are as follows:
  • Aesthetic
  • Creativity
  • Relevance (to this course)
• Notice that the AI would not generate a good picture if you give a vague sentence. High-quality pictures will require a clear understanding and explanation of the concepts.
• The award ceremony will be held later. Winners will be announced then.
  • Gold medal (1 student): 1.5% bonus point
  • Silver medal (2 students): 1% bonus point
  • Bronze medal (N students, unlimited): 0.5% bonus point

Example

• CS492
• CS524

Good reference: Event horizon. BTW, if you want to make a song rather than pictures, give it a shot.
