Kristen Stewart Just Authored a Paper on Artificial Intelligence

The actress best known for her role as a lovesick teenager in Twilight has co-authored a three-page paper on artificial intelligence. Kirsten Stewart, along with Adobe Research Engineer Bhautik Joshi and Starlight Studios Producer David Shapiro, released a paper Wednesday detailing how machine learning was applied to her directorial and screenwriting debut for the short film "Come Swim." The paper, titled "Bringing Impressionism to Life with Neural Style Transfer," explains how "neural style transfer" was used in the movie. In short, the "style transfer" can alter the style of a video in real time. For instance, had Stewart envisioned her film in the style of impressionist Claude Monet, she could have shown her algorithm a Monet work and taught the system to overlay the painting style on the film.
