Recent research used machine learning methods to predict a person's sexual orientation from their photograph (Wang and Kosinski, 2017). To verify this result, two of these models are replicated, one based on a deep neural network (DNN) and…
Training supervised image synthesis models requires a critic to compare two images: the ground truth to the result. Yet, this basic functionality remains an open problem. A popular line of approaches uses the L1 (mean absolute error) loss,…
Most existing methods for CRF estimation from a single image fail to handle general real images. For instance, EdgeCRF based on colour patches extracted from edges works effectively only when the presence of noise is insignificant, which is…

Photographs taken with less-than-ideal exposure settings often display poor visual quality. Since the correction procedures vary significantly, it is difficult for a single neural network to handle all exposure problems. Moreover, the…
Capturing images under extremely low-light conditions poses significant challenges for the standard camera pipeline. Images become too dark and too noisy, which makes traditional enhancement techniques almost impossible to apply. Recently,…
