I'm itching to make this. Would this be a good intro ML project for a solid software engineer (with a decently strong math background) or would it likely be far over my head? Seems like reverse engineering it from the paper would be tough, but maybe doable :p

it would be expensive in terms of hardware, you’d need to shell out for quite a few GPUs or else budget a lot for expensive cloud instances.

plus this is just a very complicated thing, in that it’s gluing together multiple new techniques to do various things.

some of the pieces that went into this work (like GANs) have lots of tutorials online and might be a more manageable, and budget-friendly, place to start. you could do something interesting on Google CoLab with free GPU time.
