Kristen Stewart is quickly becoming one of my favorite people. She's gone from Twilight to indie darling, picking some amazing films that show us she has way more talent than Bella Swan gave her credit for. Stewart is gearing up to debut her directorial debut, a 17-minute short film called Come Swim, which was inspired by a painting Stewart had previously completed. The film integrates the painting using a technique called "style transfer," which uses convolutional neural networks to have an algorithm change a video in real time. If we saw this on an airplane we'd probably throw up.

Kristen Stewart is quickly becoming one of my favourite people.

Stewart is gearing up to debut her directorial debut, a 17-minute short film called Come Swim, which was inspired by a painting Stewart had previously completed. The film integrates the painting using a technique called "style transfer," which uses convolutional neural networks to have an algorithm change a video in real time. Stewart, along with her film's producer and an engineer, drafted a three-page research paper, called "Bringing Impressionism to Life with Neural Style Transfer in Come Swim."

Second, it cites all of 13 sources, most of which are github links, other arXiv articles, or conference presentations–not terribly rigorous scholarship. Third, only one author (the lead) has contact information, which calls into question how much the second (Stewart) and third authors contributed to the research and authoring of the article. Fourth, getting second author credit does not mean "co-wrote," it means that she contributed to the paper in some way. You see a lot of papers where a graduate (or even undergraduate) research assistant who entered data into a spreadsheet gets credit as co-author. Her contribution could be significant, or it could be next to nothing.
