15、similar to a painting, obvious differences still exist. A brand-new painting AI has been made public recently. Much like the pupils of the old masters, the new AI studies the work of great painters like Vermeer and Van Gogh and learns to reproduce their works. The AI, named PaintBot, is the creation
16、 of a team of researchers from the University of Maryland, the Bytedance AI Lab and Adobe Research. PaintBot can not only reproduce the work of different artists but create new works based on photographs in the chosen painters characteristic style. To train the AI to imitate(模仿) a given artists tech
17、nique, the researchers would present it with between 3 and 10 reference paintings. With each reference painting it studies, the AI gradually learns to recognize the various characteristics of the given artists technique, including the stroke(筆畫) colour, position and sizealong with the order in which
18、 each brushstroke should be made. PaintBot uses a technique known as reinforcement learning (強化學習). During the learning process, the AI would practice reproducing reference paintings, which it would then compare with the original work to see how similar the two were and if it was improving its imita
19、tion of the artists style. It takes around six hours for the AI to learn to imitate a given painter. Once the AI has mastered a particular artists technique, the researchers could present it with a new image to reproduce in the same style. The AI then uses what it has learnt to produce a new paintin
20、g, putting down each brushstroke one at a time. After being trained in a given style, PaintBot takes only around five minutes to produce each of its digital masterpieces. The way that PaintBots compositions are built up from thousands of individual brushstrokes makes the AIs works more realistic tha

22、niques.B.Recognize the value of the painting.C.Compare the painting with other works.D.Understand the artists family background.3.How does PaintBot create works?A.It follows the given style.B.It learns from the researchers.C.It just imitates the reference paintings.D.It mixes techniques of different

25、on the grass ground in front of a farm house. They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not even wearing shoes!

27、rised, but very glad to have it. I was delighted that she liked it and all the students she would have would treasure it as much as I had. We found the perfect place for it on one of her walls and hung it together. I was happy that she brought back this wonderful memory for me.1.Why did the author a
