An AI That Can Mimic Any Artist

A 2015 post describing an open-source TensorFlow implementation of the neural style transfer algorithm from the paper 'A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style'. The algorithm leverages the insight that neural networks trained for object detection inherently separate content from style, enabling synthesis of images that combine the content of one photo with the artistic style of another. The author also extends the technique to video by initializing each frame with the previously rendered frame to maintain visual continuity and reduce render time.
