Selfie 2 Waifu: you’re an anime

Among this learning pool of apps is Selfie 2 Waifu, which does not have a use for anything specific per se, but that does not take away the impressive action it performs by recognizing faces and transforming them into something new.

This program basically transforms any face that it receives into an anime-like appearance, taking the world of Japanese caricature to a whole other level for fans and curious ones.

This site is based on the official Tensorflow implementation, an open-source library for machine learning created by Google. All this through tasks that enable systems to build and train neural networks. Thus, these detect and decipher patterns and correlations to human learning and reasoning. And, even if it sounds complex, it simply learns from what it sees, interpreting it in its own style; in this case, the anime.
