Chinese Student Creates AI That Can Turn Photos into Anime

An undergraduate student from China's Fudan University showcased a new artificial intelligence (AI) software that can turn regular human photos into an anime masterpiece using the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and Deep Learning method. Yanghua Jin is attempting to create a computer program that can learn from its own mistakes the longer it works. This is all done using GAN's two networks: the generator and the discriminator, according to SoraNews24. The generator is in charge of producing the anime picture that runs through the software. It uses attributes taken from anime images, such as hair and eye color, whether the hair is long or short, and whether the mouth is open or not, and studies them.
