CHELL – PREDICTIVE ENGINE UPDATE

NEWS


INTRODUCING OUR NEW PREDICTIVE MODEL, CHELL


ONLINE AND READY TO MAKE YOUR EDITING LIFE A WHOLE LOT EASIER




We are pleased to share news of our latest predictive engine, Chell, a
completely reimagined blend and evolution of our current predictive methods
combined with all-new technology.

Chell is built to resolve most of our issues with consistency, white balance,
over-editing, and overall accuracy. It gets it right far more often and requires
far fewer manual interventions.


NEST ENGINE UPDATES

We have upgraded and improved the Nest Engine for detecting and treating similar
images. To start, we redesigned the initial image transformation so that
portrait and landscape images shot in the same scenario are more likely to be
seen as similar. The likelihood of a visual match is stronger when images are
shot in a sequence and this likelihood then decays over time. The longer the
time gap between images, the less likely for a match. When matched, edits are
now weighted dynamically depending on ‘how similar’ Chell sees the matched
images. If they are nearly identical, they will get nearly identical treatment.
As the images and scenarios begin to differ more, the edit begins to rely less
on the original match and more on the individual prediction from the new image.
In addition to these changes, we gave Chell a larger memory to find, nest, and
prioritize matches. The end result is that edits will feel more consistent,
organic, and changes will be more fluid between scenes.


DATA SET AND TRAINING IMPROVEMENTS

More importantly, we revisited our large dataset to both simplify, remove, and
fix tens of thousands of small inconsistencies. We used this improved dataset
and trained much longer, trying to push the line towards fully-trained without
becoming over-trained. For you, this means that predictions will feel smarter,
more accurate, and generally more on point than before. Just like always, Chell
will continue to learn and improve. With Chell, Impossible Things will not only
feel more intelligent while editing, it will respond much better and more
consistently to preset balancing made by your ‘Custom Tuning’ settings.


CLOUD UPGRADES

In addition to these predictive engine improvements, we have also quadrupled our
CPU power and capacity in the cloud. This means that even during peak editing
times and seasons, Impossible Things should remain feeling fast and responsive.


PLUG-IN UPGRADES

You have likely noticed quite a few changes with our system and plug-in over the
past month and a half. This has all been in preparation of Chell. Primarily, we
have redesigned the preconditioning step to account for and manage certain
cameras with problematic Adobe profiles such as the Nikon Z6 while allowing for
improved accuracy after upload. With that being said, we see many users are
still using earlier versions of the plug-in. So just in case, be sure to “Check
for Updates” in the plug-in manager: File > Plug-in Manager > Impossible Things
> Check for updates. At the time of writing, the latest version is 1.42, and it
is definitely worth updating. (Don’t see “Check for Updates?” then download and
run the latest DVLOP & Things installer from your account: things.co/account).

As a result of all of these changes, predictions from Chell and our improved
learning model won’t change or vary as much as before when we continue to train
with new data. The results will remain familiar while the accuracy and
consistency will continue to improve.
