Not that I specifically know of... hard to say, though. Neither Canon or Nikon really say what they do. But its certainly quite good; I expect its adaptive... especially given how slow it is. There was that SharpRaw thing that used some neural interpolator, which I suppose was adaptive in some fashion... but it was even worse than dcraw.
