Creating And Morphing Lego Faces With Neural Networks

- Ivan Echevarria tl;dr: Ivan compiled a new data set for his model to train on: 3800 images of Lego faces. "The end product can be used for interesting applications including generating new Lego faces and morphing smoothly between Lego faces."
