Of course, all this is no guarantee that biased results won’t appear somewhere, especially when the neural filters get out of beta testing and into the hands of the general public. “We complemented our training data with Adobe stock photos,” says Costin, “and that allowed us to have a good as possible, distributed training set.” This, says Costin, made it easy for Adobe’s researchers to balance their datasets to try to minimize bias. “We do a very thorough review of every ML feature, to look at this criteria and try and raise the bar.” Users will be able to send “inappropriate” results to Adobe to improve the filters.īut one key advantage Adobe has over other teams building AI image-editing tools is its catalog of stock photography - a huge array of images that span different ages, races, genders.

“This is a very sensitive area.” To help root out this bias, Adobe has set up review teams and an AI ethics committee that test the algorithms every time a major update is made.

“One of the biggest challenges we have is preserving the skin tone,” says Costin. “One of the biggest challenges we have is preserving the skin tone.” If it trained its algorithms on too many white faces, he says, its neural filters might end up pushing AI-edited portraits toward whiter complexions (a problem we’ve seen in the past with other ML applications). These faces just aren’t in the training data.Ĭostin says Adobe is acutely aware of this problem. This sort of bias is why facial recognition systems often perform worse on women and people of color. The algorithms only know the world you show them, so if you only show them images of, say, white faces, they won’t be able to make edits for anyone whose complexion doesn’t fit within this narrow range. It sounds straightforward, but there are lots of ways this training can go wrong.

“Basically, we’re training the GAN to make the same corrections a professional retoucher would do,” Alexandru Costin, Adobe’s vice president of engineering for Creative Cloud, told The Verge. Eventually, when even the GAN is getting confused trying to tell the difference between the two, the training process is complete. The GANs operate like a paired student and teacher, with one part trying to copy these examples while the other tries to distinguish between this output and the training data. So, to create the neural filter that’s used to smooth away skin blemishes, for example, Adobe collected thousands of before and after shots of edits made by professional photographers, feeding this data into their algorithms. Image: Adobe Trying to beat AI biasĪI tools like this work by learning from past examples. Neural filters can be used to colorize old photos - a popular application of machine learning. These AI-powered edits weren’t flawless, and most professional retouchers would want to step in and make some adjustments of their own afterwards, but they seemed like they would speed up many editing tasks. But in a virtual demo The Verge saw, the new tools delivered fast and good quality results (though we didn’t see the facial expression adjustment tool). But it’s always significant when techniques like these go from bleeding-edge experiments, shared on Twitter among those in the know, to headline features in consumer juggernauts like Photoshop.Īs always with these sorts of features, the proof will be in the editing, and the actual utility of neural filters will depend on how Photoshop’s many users react to them.

They’re the sort of tools that have been turning up in papers and demos for years. Many of these filters are familiar to those who follow AI image editing.

(The demo we saw was done on an old Mac Book Pro and was perfectly fast enough.) Some of the processing is done locally and some in the cloud, depending on the computational demands of each individual tool, but each filter takes just seconds to apply. To achieve these effects, Adobe is harnessing the power of generative adversarial networks - or GANs - a type of machine learning technique that’s proved particularly adept at generating visual imagery.
