Kristen Stewart co-wrote a paper on machine learning

Kristen Stewart, best known for her role as Bella in the Twilight saga, has co-authored a paper on machine learning. It details her use of a technique known as'style transfers' for select scenes in Come Swim, a short film that will be shown at Sundance and marks her directorial debut. The process has become popular with apps such as Prisma, which allow the user to apply filters in the style of famous paintings. At its core, the system relies on deep neural networks to identify the "content" of your photo and the "style" of another, blending them together into a completely new image. Stewart and her team used style transfers to create some unusual, dream-like sequences in the film.
