Is this done with the deep learning research that was published here a couple of months ago?

I was just thinking that. Seems it might be based on the description. Kinda interested how they'd do it in a speedy way on mobile devices. Hope they didn't just knock-off the open-source code though.

  the description sounds like they're running a server farm, not doing the processing on the phone.

    Why do I have to download an app to use it then?
    - nness 11y ago
      It lets them monazite it in a way which a web-app might not.

      Because that's what users expect and it's much easier to create a usable user experience around photos, uploading, notification when it is ready etc.

  From the website: "This is incredibly computationally intensive, and even on a cloud of the fastest computers, it takes a few minutes to process each image." I'm pretty sure they're using the open-source code that was published.

  "Stiefvater [...] described it to me as 'black magic,' and doesn’t even fully understand how it works. He downloaded it from Github, where a computer programmer he’s never met posted it." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2015/09/14/heres-what-it-would-look-like-if-picasso-had-painted-the-presidential-portraits/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2015/09/1...

    Yes. That was back in September. Before Pikazo or Deepart even existed. Let's refrain from making nasty implications about each other, shall we? Thank you.

      No nasty implications sounds fair to me. Good luck!

        Ok good. Would you also mind retracting your claim below that we have "misappropriated" your technology? Perhaps we're having a language problem - "misappropriate" is a crime in English. If you honestly believe a crime has been committed, I would strongly urge you to discuss it with us (somewhere other than this public forum). We've tried a few times now to reach out to your team, and have not heard back. Thank you. K.

        I am sorry, I didn't mean any legal accusation - it just feels a little odd that the description of the app sounds as if you invented the technology without ever referring to the original work.

  And now at http://deepart.io/ http://deepart.io/ we have hi-resolution and the authors of the algorithm on-board. Thanks for mentioning us :)

    You should add an explanation for the waiting time, queue thing. This was unexpected and also not really clear. First thought I could only get it by paying...
    - kidzik 11y ago
      Good point, thanks! We actually had one, but we removed it in the current version (it seemed natural for us but it obviously is not) - we will bring it back. We simply have limited resources for servers, but still want to provide the highest quality possible in the free version. That's why there is a queue, but we are working hard to make the implementation faster and more efficient :)

        Great. The success message (when there will be one - there should be one instead of only the submissions queue) should definitely include an explanation, what happens next and how I can influence it. Will I get an email when my pictures are ready? Can I schedule more pictures? I think you will have more success showing the # of people in the queue and a "jump the queue" feature. Is there a way to build a "I want it NOW, even if it isn't that great... (and get the great version later via email)". The public/private thing could also use some explanation "Show this on the website" vs. "Only give the result to me". "Delete" would probably better be named "remove" as you remove the submission from the queue, and don't really delete anything that was already created. Also, "Submit a new image" could let me choose some style images... but I bet that's already on your backlog anyway. Nice idea, nice tool!
