It is often considered a negative, especially in relation with large language models or medical image reconstruction. Yet, in many computational photography applications, we rely on such hallucinations to create pleasing images. It often does not matter if all (or any) information was present in the real world if the produced falsehoods are visually plausible.</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Starting from that premise, I will present our recent work on hallucinations in image reconstruction, image style creation, and texture synthesis, using different generative models such as GANs, diffusion networks, and neural cellular automata. With a nod to the dangers some of these hallucinations might pose, I will also briefly discuss our work on deep fake detection.</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><strong>Bio</strong>: <span class="il">Sabine</span> Süsstrunk is Full Professor and Director of the Image and Visual Representation Lab in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC) at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland.
