Although there are filters(滤镜) which can change digital photographs to make them similar to a painting, obvious differences still exist.A brand-new painting AI has been made public recently. Much like pupils of old masters, the new AI studies the works of great painters like Vermeer and Van Gogh and learns to reproduce them.The AI, named "PaintBot", is the creation of a team of researchers from the ByteDance AI Lab of the University of Maryland.PaintBot can not only reproduce the work of different artists but create new works based on photographs in the chosen painter's characteristic style.
To train the AI to imitate a given artist's technique, the researchers would present it with 3 to 10 reference paintings. With each reference painting it studies, the AI gradually learns to recognize the various characteristics of the given artist's technique, including the stroke(笔画), color, position and size—along with the order in which each brushstroke should be made.PaintBot uses a technique known as reinforcement learning(强化学习). During the learning process, the AI would practice reproducing the reference painting,
which it would then compare with the original work to see how similar the two were and if it was improving its imitation of the artist's style. It takes around six hours for the AI to learn to imitate a given artist.
Once the AI has mastered a particular artist's technique, the researchers could present it with a new image to reproduce in the same style. The AI then uses what it has learnt to produce a new painting, putting down each brushstroke one at a time.
After being trained in a given style, PaintBot takes only around five minutes to produce each of its digital masterpieces.
The way that PaintBot's compositions are built up from thousands of individual brushstrokes makes the AI's works more realistic than those online filters.
1.What does the author say about filters used to change digital photos?( )
A.They do amazing work. B.They are out of date.
C.They have different uses. D.They are not good enough.
2.What does PaintBot need to do first before imitating a certain artist's painting?( )
A.Learn the artist's technique.
B.Recognize the value of the painting.
C.Compare the painting with other works.
D.Understand the artist's family background.
3.How does PaintBot create works?( )
A.It follows the given style.
B.It learns from the researchers.
C.It just imitates the reference paintings.
D.It mixes techniques of different artists.
4.Which of the following best describes PaintBot's paintings according to the author?( )
A.Popular. B.Valuable. C.Advanced. D.Lifelike.
