The truth that the network of networks is capable of surprising us and there is still a long way to go in this new technologies. Twitter is one of those social networks in which we can get to know all kinds of news and services from the millions of existing accounts.
Now there is one that is capable of colorize your black and white photos in a fully automated way. And it is that this account comes from the idea that its creator had when he found how those photos of World War II when colored, were able to show in a better way everything that happens in a war event.
This account is Colorize Bot and it is capable of coloring your photos in black and white by writing a tweet and waiting a few seconds. Grace Rawson has been commissioned to create this tool which is capable of coloring photos in a fully automated way.
It's all due to Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. It is Oli Callaghan, Rawson's friend, who begins to create a neural network from scratch with C ++ and OpenCL. Tensorflow is the framework used for Machine Learning and that has been created by Google. It offers a clear interface for creating machine learning models.
To this we add the model trained by the authors of the research at the University of Berkley. A training based on 4,5 million images, so, as you could say, they had enough database in hand for machine learning, interesting like this adobe program, it will work just like this Twitter account does.
What to do is mention @colorisebot in a tweet, and he will colorize the image you have attached in a few seconds. Simply amazing what a Twitter bot can do.
