I expect video upscaling next.

- ma2rten 11y agoInteresting... If a Neural Network can be used for up scaling a video it means that you need to send less data over the wire for getting the same quality. This means neural networks can be used as a compression algorithm.
- nrmn 11y agofrom the flipboard article: "The final use case that we thought of was saving bandwidth. A smaller image could be sent to the client which would run a client side version of this model to gain a larger image." Can be applied to gifs and videos, but this really depends on the usage case and if the client would tolerate such a thing.
- Daiz 11y agoNNEDI3, which I mentioned in another comment, can be used for video upscaling, and was in fact built for video processing in the first place.
