A review of high-tech shoe initiatives by Nike, adidas, New Balance, and Under Armour.

Tate Modern and Microsoft collaborated on an exhibition where a machine learning algorithm selected artworks from museum's collection. Philipp Shmitt did a similar experiment with a photo album.

A script crops movie characters for posters, then applies a stylized and localized movie title, then runs automatic experiments on a subset of users. Real magic! A new version started to personalize a poster image for different users (i.e., to show a particular actor or just a mood).

A promotional image generator for e-commerce product lists. A marketer fills a simple form with a title and an image, and then the generator proposes an endless number of variations, all of which conform to design guidelines.

The app can process video through neural networks (even streaming video).

An experiment by Adobe and University of Toronto. The tool automatically refines a design layout for you. It can also propose an entirely new composition. Similar ideas can be found in Sketchplore, MS PowerPoint, and Google Slides.

It chooses templates and content-presentation styles, and it retouches and crops photos — all by itself. Moreover, the system runs A/B tests to choose the most suitable pattern.
