Last month at NVIDIA GTC 2019, NVIDIA unveiled a new app that turns simple blobs of color drawn by a user into dazzling photorealistic paintings.
The app builds off the deep learning–based technology of generative adversarial networks (GAN). In a pun inspired by painter Paul Gauguin, NVIDIA has named it GauGAN. Underlying GauGAN’s functionality is a new algorithm called SPADE.
