Announcing the release of ERIS-2, the second generation of the ERIS system! Boasting a slightly more sophisticated architecture, and more importantly, 128x128px output images, ERIS-2 takes what ERIS-1 did, but makes it bigger. While some of the results are definitely interesting, sadly I feel it suffers even more from instability than ERIS-1, being unable to learn more past a certain point. The results are interesting, but lets be honest, are mostly curious blobs of color. We must do better! Keep an eye out for my next project!

For those interested in the details of ERIS-2, it is basically the exact same as ERIS-1, but with a few additional layers, and an input and output size of 128x128 instead of 64x64. Training 50 epochs over the 100k image dataset took roughly 52 hours on my GTX 970. See this journal for the full technical rundown.
