Interdisciplinary team of physics and art history faculty develop technology capable of identifying false artworks

CWRU researchers developing technique that could identify fake artworks using artificial intelligence

cleveland.com: Kenneth Singer, the Ambrose Swasey Professor of Physics, Elizabeth Bolman, chair of the art history department, and Michael Hinczewski, associate professor of physics, discussed a newly university-developed computer technique that can identify with near certainty which artist made a particular painting based on tiny details of brush marks that can’t be controlled by the artist and aren’t visible to the naked eye.
