Absolutely! We recently rebranded our AI solutions from ALLIS (Advanced Low Light Imagine Solution) to ALIIS (All Light Intelligent Imaging Solution) specifically because we are beginning to branch out to handle use cases such as this!

As a proof of concept that this task can be tackled directly, a quick search brought up "DeepFlash: Turning a Flash Selfie into a Studio Portrait"[0]

Beyond denoising, we are already running experiments with very promising results on haze, lens flare, and reflection removal; super resolution; region adaptive white balancing; single exposure HDR; and a fair bit more.

One of the other cooler things we are doing is putting together a unified SDK where our algorithms and neural nets will be able to run pretty much anywhere, on any hardware, using transparent backend switching. (e.g. CPU, GPU, TPU, NPU, DSP, other accelerator ASICs, etc..)

Before reading your reply to OP's comment I got to thinking about how the super-resolution process and flash photography might interact (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22905317). I get the impression you left the point I got to a long time ago :)
