Research & Academic Partnerships
Peer-reviewed research
The collaborative research conducted between Art Recognition and the Department of Cognitive Science & Artificial Intelligence (CSAI) at the University of Tilburg has been published following a rigorous peer-review process. The findings presented in the paper underscore the remarkable potential of Transformers — an advanced neural network architecture originally tailored for extensive language models such as ChatGPT — in the domain of image classification for art authentication. This innovation marks a significant stride in enhancing the reliability of computer-based authentication for artworks, resulting in heightened precision and confidence throughout the authentication process. Another peer-reviewed scientific article, co-authored by Art Recognition and the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Liverpool, has been released. This article demonstrates the capability of our AI system to effectively resist adversarial attacks after incorporating AI-generated images into its training dataset.

Scientific networks
Art Recognition is fortunate to have the backing of exceptional Swiss and European scientific networks. We have received funding for a research project from Eureka, the world’s largest public network for international collaboration in R&D and innovation. Additionally, we take pride in being supported by the leading Swiss Innovation Agency, Innosuisse.
Academic partnerships
Our partnership with Tilburg University in the Netherlands has been ongoing for already four years. Prof. Dr. Eric Postma, the group’s leader, serves as a scientific advisor at Art Recognition and is a pioneer in utilizing computer vision techniques for art authentication. Furthermore, we engaged in a collaboration with the University of Liverpool in the UK for an exciting project exploring the effects of AI-generated forgeries on art authentication, as well as how our AI system can effectively counter adversarial attacks.
