Facebook's Machine Learning Model Manipulates Images to Open Closed Eyes!

We've all taken not-so-great pictures and tried using various photo editing techniques to rehash them and make them presentable. With the advances in technology and hence software applications, most of these tasks are now a piece of cake. But there are still certain things like'closed eyes' in pictures which have eluded developers. How many times have you had to re-take pictures because someone invariably closed their eyes? Sure there are apps that attempt to make things better but so far, there hasn't been a convincing solution. Emphasis on "so far", because Facebook's AI research team has used machine learning to build a model that literally opens closed eyes in pictures.
