Researchers Devise AI System To Reduce Noise in Photos (venturebeat.com)

Researchers from Nvidia, MIT, and Aalto University are using artificial intelligence to reduce noise in photos. The team used 50,000 images from the ImageNet dataset to train its AI system for reconstructing photos, and the system is able to remove noise from an image even though it has never seen the image without noise. VentureBeat: Named Noise2Noise, the AI system was created using deep learning and draws its intelligence from 50,000 images from the ImageNet database. Each came as a clean, high-quality image without noise but was manipulated to add randomized noise. Computer-generated images and MRI scans were also used to train Noise2Noise. Denoising or noise reduction methods have been around for a long time now, but methods that utilize deep learning are a more recent phenomenon.

    I wish they'd quit with the AI and Artificial Intelligence monikers being applied to everything in tech these days. The day one of these AI's tells me that, no, it won't brew my coffee this morning because it is taking the day off is the day I might buy in to this nonsense.
