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?

    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.

  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.

        Yeah - I think you're right - that's a fair complaint. In the original description I had a link to the paper - but somehow that got lost in the versioning. I'm traveling right now, give me a couple days to fix that.
