Remarkable machine learning result for "producing astoundingly sharp photos in very low light" (Cory Doctorow - [LINK] ) Demo example (one of many examples - drag the middle slider from left-to-right): [LINK] GitHub: [LINK] Paper: [LINK] Video: [VIDEO]

To me the results seem vastly superior to those sort of simple DSP algorithms. The video shows a comparison with some denoising: [VIDEO]

Public raw image datasets are rare, probably because most cameras, except DSLRs, don't support storing raw images. Also, the nature of the inference may not require high fidelity raw images since they're going to be down-sampled anyway. Unless research suggests that raw images improve inference metrics, nobody's going to invest effort into building a raw image dataset. One notable recent exception to this is the "Learning to see in the dark" paper on low light image enhancement[1] - they found that training on raw images gives much better enhancement than JPEG. The data availability problem may start getting solved in the near future because mobiles (atleast Android) support storing and processing raw images, and on-device learning and inference capabilities are getting better all the time on mobiles.
