    In the Venn diagram of "awesome Stripe Atlas users" and "sounds like a joke Redditors would make about CSI": https://letsenhance.io/  They, literally, recover data from images that isn't actually in the image. (Using neural networks.) First product is "magic 4x zoom."

        I love this bit of copy: "Neural network hallucinates missing details to make image look natural." The future is, in some ways, gloriously weird.

        The computer, which does not know what a button is, has invented a plausible button that *does not actually exist in nature*, as a *freaking side effect.* (I don't have the actual shirt collar around to show you but *that button is not actually the button.*)

        There's an app called TensorZoom for android that does something similar to this, it's based off google's TensorFlow and it's not half bad

        Neural nets may be cool, but their signup is definitely broken.

        Someone else already mentioned it in your comments, but, this is *not* doing recovery. It is generating a plausible signal given its prior (obtained from the training set it was generated on). It's important to be clear on this since it has important implications.

        For example, if someone tried to do facial reconstruction given a blurry image, you wouldn't get the original face, but you'd get *a* plausible face that is compatible with the pixels and the original training set.
