Reviews: A Powerful Generative Model Using Random Weights for the Deep Image Representation

I think this is a very interesting finding, especially considering that this was claimed not to be possible in Gatys et al. (Texture Synthesis Using Convolutional Neural Networks). Your paper makes a comment about how your improved scaling of the gradients for the different layers is the difference maker. However, it would be interesting to see further study into this with experiments showing exactly how the results get worse as the scaling is artificially made less appropriate. I also think these results could have impact on application. Training time is one thing, but I think it is ever more useful not to have to store the weights.
