Curated Collection of Neural Networks: 13 Services for Working with Text, Images, and Even Psychology
Have neural networks passed you by? Let’s rectify that by looking at the best neural network services – free, most popular, unique, and simply interesting. In this curated collection of neural networks there is likely to be something suited for the tasks you need to accomplish.
What Types of Neural Networks Are There?
Without going into complex IT terminology, these services can be categorized as:
- Text generators. They create articles, sales/advertising texts, reviews, slogans, ideas.
- Image generators. They create unique pictures, remove backgrounds and unwanted objects, enhance the quality and resolution of photos, and fill in backgrounds for uploaded images.
- Sound generators. Convert text to audio (voiceovers), create individual samples, beats, and even complete musical tracks, cut vocals from songs, improve audio quality.
- Video generators. Create and edit videos, provide off-screen translation for foreign content, and generate videos from uploaded photos and scripts.
There are also specialized platforms, for example, for programmers. They are capable of generating website templates, searching for code errors, creating interfaces and designs, and that’s not even all their functions.
Top 5 Free Neural Networks
Any collection of the highest-rated free neural networks begins with ChatGPT. The service has become a kind of legend in its field alongside Midjourney. As of early 2023, the number of ChatGPT users exceeded 100 million people – a record among all AI platforms. There are many reasons for this: free access, a communication format familiar to people (chat), and extensive capabilities.
Besides ChatGPT, there are at least four other free sites that can be considered among the best:
- Mubert. Generates background music for games, apps, YouTube videos, and Reels in social networks. There are over 100 music genres and 40 moods available.
- Kandinsky 2.1. A free neural network for generating images from descriptions in Russian. The service is available not only on the website but also in an app, and in the official chatbot.
- DeepL. The neural network is positioned as the most accurate free text translator. It considers context, supports over 30 languages, and is available via the website and the app.
- Retoucher. For many users, this service can replace Photoshop as it can remove backgrounds from photos very accurately. Unlike PS, it works correctly even on low-power computers.
Of course, the list of free tools does not end there. Moreover, new services are regularly introduced. Keep an eye on industry news so as not to miss their release.
A selection of the best neural networks by popularity will not include ChatGPT, as we have already paid attention to it above. Let’s look at other services that are in high demand in their fields:
- Midjourney. A well-known neural network for generating unique images upon request in English. The quality and accuracy of the result depend on the phrasing.
- Stable Diffusion. A neural network that is installed on a PC and generates images upon request. It has no censorship or restrictions and supports a multitude of trained models for any task.
- DALL-E 2. Another neural network for working with images that can not only create them from scratch but also add objects to uploaded photos and expand their boundaries.
Trends in neural network technologies are constantly changing. It is possible that in a month, these networks will be replaced by something with broader content generation capabilities.
Top 3 Most Interesting Services
As for the selection of interesting neural networks, the following tools can be considered unusual:
- The Dream Keeper. Visualizes your dream. Write a request in English describing what you dreamed about and watch what the site generates.
- SkyBox Blockade Labs. A platform for generating a “world” from descriptions in English. There are a plethora of settings that will help you create the planet of your dreams.
- AiOrNot. Kind of a “police” in the neural network sphere. Upload an image to the site, and the service will tell you whether it’s a real picture or artificially generated.
There are other unusual neural networks designed more for entertainment than for practical tasks.
Compiling a selection of neural networks for psychologists is not easy, as there are no specialized services in this field yet. However, some professionals use the familiar ChatGPT in their work. Here are a few reasons to utilize its capabilities in a psychologist’s practice:
- An extensive knowledge base, including in psychology, which is often more convenient to search than in search engines like Google and Yandex;
- Trainability – one can upload data collected during a patient’s consultation into the chat, and the neural network will help develop a personalized treatment plan.
Separately, the iCognito service should be noted, which is not created for psychologists but for people who need psychological help. It is a platform with chatbots capable of recognizing human conditions such as loneliness, depression, anxiety, irritation, anger, and more. This neural network will be useful for psychologists because it is developed based on scientific CBT methods.
