This paper creates a novel method of deep neural style transfer by generating style images from freeform user text input. The language model and style transfer model form a seamless pipeline that can create output images with similar losses and improved quality when compared to baseline style transfer methods. The language model returns a closely matching image given a style text and description input, which is then passed to the style transfer model with an input content image to create a final output. A proof-of-concept tool is also developed to integrate the models and demonstrate the effectiveness of deep image style transfer from freeform text.

We build a classification model for the BirdCLEF 2022 challenge using unsupervised methods. We implement an unsupervised representation of the training dataset using a triplet loss on spectrogram representation of audio motifs. Our best model performs with a score of 0.48 on the public leaderboard.
