Researchers invent the opposite of 'Prisma'... for SCIENCE

Remember when you couldn't scroll through your Instagram feed without seeing an image from Prisma, the app that uses AI to make photographs look like paintings? 

Well, we're ready to go in the opposite direction.

Researchers from UC Berkeley's AI Research Lab (BAIR) have discovered a way to reconstruct photographs from paintings using a technique known as "image-to-image translation." The researchers also applied their work to a number of other techniques, like converting paintings to different painters' styles and replacing objects in photos.
