How to go about building a slack chatbot? by chai_17 in Chatbots

No problem. I've used those steps as a building block for a few different slack apps and it's pretty cool once you get it working -- feel free to DM me with questions if you go that route.

What's that Python script that you could use to generate text to speech from a bunch of sound files? by stonecharioteer in Python

Not at the moment (that I know of). The paper's authors give some hints on how they did it in that blog post linked above, but I haven't seen any public implementations that include text.

Sounds a bit like wavenet: https://deepmind.com/blog/wavenet-generative-model-raw-audio/

Using this to make a coherent voice assistant would be quite the feat, but here are a few python implementations of the wavenet paper that could get you as far as mimicking voices:

Tensorflow version: https://github.com/ibab/tensorflow-wavenet

Keras version: https://github.com/basveeling/wavenet

These examples use the VCTK speech dataset, which is common for projects like this, but you can substitute your own audio if you have enough of it.

Has google made any sort of announcement about supporting a GPU version on Windows? by senpai_eric in tensorflow

[–]rdcolema 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread should have most of the highlights on Windows support: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/17

It's now possible to run GPU on Windows using their custom build instructions. Not sure how long it will be until a more user-friendly option is available.

GPU version on virtualbox? by [deleted] in tensorflow

Unfortunately no, but if you're really committed to getting up and running with GPU on windows, most of your options are discussed in this thread: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/17

Basically, you can now build a wheel on windows and pip install with GPU support that way. It's a bit of a hassle, but it works.

Installed anaconda but i had to create a new py27 environment, i can't get caffe or profobuf installed, what do i do? by djdylex in deepdream

To get running on Windows, I landed on this tutorial after struggling with about 5 others:

The short answer is that (for me at least) it was a lot easier to get caffe installed on Windows by using a virtual machine. You almost definitely won't be able to utilize GPU later if you go this route, but you can still get pretty good results running on CPU if you're patient.

I ended up recording a few other notes on my installation/usage here if that helps: https://github.com/rdcolema/deepdream-neural-style-transfer
