Introduction:

The project implements an existing paper, A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style, one of the most fundamental papers on neural style transfer. We chose this paper because it uses the basic model of convolutional neural networks, which allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the model by accessing and modifying its architecture easily. Some ablation experiments include: Contrast model performance with various pooling operations (max-pooling, average pooling) Adjusting the number of style layers and observe its effects by visualizing the model’s output

Related Work:

We primarily draw from the work and aim to re-implement the model in this paper: A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style which implements a single style neural transfer: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.06576.pdf.
