M.C. Escher's most famous work, Print Gallery (1956), is a lithograph with a blank circle in the center of the work. Why did Escher leave the center blank? And can we use machine learning to figure out the artist's intent and complete the work?

Join me (Jim) with guest and former ITP Camper Lucia Cipolina Kun, and learn about Lucia's recently published paper "Multi-Modal Diffusion Models for Art Reconstruction". The paper demonstrates how to use math and machine learning to unravel the complex imagery and use current machine learning techniques to complete the missing center.
