Nice work from Microsoft Research, including it being open source, and with open sourcing of the training dataset to come (which I suspect will actually be the most valuable contribution long term)

Artists are like engineers. The types of decisions the two groups make are wildly different, but each group makes decisions for a living and focuses the rest of their time on craftsmanship. Also like engineers, the best make far better deci
