The research field of image translation with the aid of learning algorithms is improving at a fast speed. For example, this earlier technique would look at a large number of animal faces and could interpolate between them, or in other words, blend one kind of dog into another breed. It could even transform dogs into cats, or even further transform cats into cheetahs. The results were very good, but it would only work on the domains it was trained on i.e. it could only translate to and from species that it took the time to learn about.
