A group of researchers at the German University of Tubingen has developed an algorithm that can produce any photograph in the style of great painters such as Picasso and Van Gogh. Technically, this process is called deep learning, which is a collection of algorithms capable of independent learning without the help of a human. It is about the creation of artificial neural networks, where computer programs work according to the model of the human brain. This type of technology is already used by Google in photo recognition.
An algorithm that turns photos into artistic paintings, which reflect the style of great painters, is based on deep learning system with the help of which the separation and recombination of content and styles of photos/images takes place. It uses the so-called artificial neural networks, which are also used in medicine, industry, finance and elsewhere.

So you can with help artificial intelligence change your house photo to an expressionist picture like Van Gogh would have painted in the style of The Scream or brag to your friends that you found a Picasso painting of your grandfather in the attic. Just don't tell them about artificial neural networks and what they are capable of. You can learn more about them in the video.
