Nvidia has published a blog post to tell of developments in AI and Deep Learning discussed at the Conference and Workshop on Neural Information Processing Systems 2017 - or NIPS for short. The graphics chip maker said that it had two papers accepted to the conference this year, and contributed to two others. Nvidia has over 120 people working on associated AI tech, and plenty of resources, so it's not surprising it can field so strongly.

At this year's NIPS a major trend is "the rise of unsupervised learning and generative modelling". It is this technology which is behind our Nvidia headline today. A paper entitled 'Unsupervised Image-to-Image Translation Networks,' led by Nvidia researcher Ming-Yu Liu shows some startling AI generated scenes which yield a kind of 'imagination'.
