I wonder if removing watermarks from images would be something a machine learning algorithm would be well suited for. Admittedly my understanding of machine learning is rather limited, but it seems like it'd be pretty easy to generate a large training set of watermarked and unwatermarked images for the algorithm to train on. No idea how effective it'd be though.
- dtech 9y agoIf you read the blog post, they link to their own research that does exactly that.
- Ajedi32 9y agoCould you show me where? I saw nothing in that article mentioning machine learning or deep learning specifically, and the paper the blog post is based on seems to use non-ML based techniques. My assumption is that a deep learning algorithm trained on multiple different styles and variations of watermarked images would be much more robust to the sort of changes Google proposed in this blog post as a way to defeat their existing algorithms.
- sp332 9y agoNot all machine learning is "deep neural networks". I think that's why your comment is being downvoted. The video shows specific model parameters that are learned for each watermark.
- Ajedi32 9y agoYes, apologies for being imprecise in my wording. In this case I am indeed specifically referring to deep neural networks.
