A team of machine learning developers has created a system for making caricatures of people’s faces. In a caricature, the artist creates a drawing of a face, with different parts of it greatly enlarged, or exaggerated, in other ways. The pictures or images are usually made to make the person look funny. Such drawings can be difficult for machines to produce. This is often because the human face is made up of complex shapes with a lot of extremely small details. Generally, good caricatures require skilled artists who can effectively exaggerate faces, while still staying true to life. The new system for making caricatures is the creation of computer scientists from the City University of Hong Kong and Microsoft Corporation.
