Determining if a piece is authentic requires an extremely fine analysis of a painting\u2019s highly detailed variants.<\/li>\n<li>Using large datasets, the Franks trained convolutional neural networks to examine small, manageable segments of masterpieces to analyze and classify their artists\u2019 patterns, down to their brush strokes. The model determined that the <i>Salvator Mundi<\/i> painting sold five years ago is likely the real work of da Vinci.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Tweetables:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>AI might sometimes \u201cbe wrong, but it will always be objective, if you train it properly.\u201d \u2014 Steven Frank [10:48]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most fascinating thing about AI research these days is that you can do cutting-edge AI research on an inexpensive PC \u2026 as long as it has an NVIDIA GPU.\u201d \u2014 Steven Frank [22:43]<\/p>\n<h2><b>You Might Also Like:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/theaipodcast\/ai-sherd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>Researchers Chris Downum and Leszek Pawlowicz Use Deep Learning to Accelerate Archaeology<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Researchers in the Department of Anthropology at Northern Arizona University are using GPU-based deep learning algorithms to categorize sherds \u2014 tiny fragments of ancient pottery.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/theaipodcast\/nvidia-sifei-liu-3d-reconstructions-endangered-species\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>Wild Things: NVIDIA\u2019s Sifei Liu Talks 3D Reconstructions of Endangered Species<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Endangered species can be challenging to study, as they are elusive and the very act of observing them can disrupt their lives.
