Your Daily AI Research tl;dr — 2022–07–15 🧠

Welcome to your official daily AI research tl;dr (often with code and news) for AI enthusiasts where I share the most exciting papers I find daily, along with a one-liner summary to help you quickly determine if the article (and code) is worth investigating. I will also take this opportunity to share daily exciting news in the field.

Let’s get started with this iteration!

1️⃣ Collaborative Neural Rendering using Anime Character Sheets

This new method (Collaborative Neural Rendering (CoNR)) creates new images from a few arbitrarily posed reference images available in character sheets for anime characters.
