... own paintings. The paper describes the filmmaker’s experiments with style transfer, a popular use of machine learning that transforms one image into the artistic technique and color profile of another.

Stewart’s co-authors on the paper are a producer at Starlight Studios (which produced the film) and an Adobe employee, whose involvement in the film is unknown. The paper’s most interesting aspect is its ambition: The team originally tried to tune the algorithm to transfer the sense of emotion in the painting. “The painting itself evokes the thoughts an individual has in the first moments of waking (fading in-between dreams and reality),” the authors write. “This directly drove the look of the shot, leading us to map ...

... of her first directorial effort, a short film called Come Swim, at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Up she goes: The event brought its guests onto the Supreme Scream ride, and the 26-year-old settled herself into one of its seats, ready to be launched upward. Earlier this week, Refinery 29 ran an interview in which she described her directorial style, saying: 'I’m a pretty obsessive person, which is I think entirely necessary.'. In her view: 'You have to be a little crazy to put yourself through something like that and actually make it happen. I was probably a little bit more controlling than I thought I would have been.'. Quoth she: 'My favourite thing in the world is when it feels like something starts to get up and walk itself. When something’s really good, and it’s rare - honestly I’ve made a million bad movies.'. Signature style: For the evening's revelry, she'd popped on a bright orange beanie matching the lining of her otherwise midnight blue bomber jacket. She qualified: 'Not bad, it’s just like sometimes they ...

Kristen Stewart Hypes Saturday Night Live Hosting Debut With Cast

... ahead of her Saturday Night Live hosting debut this week. Song and dance: Stewart wasn't overly impressed with the musical styling of cast member Beck Bennett, 32. Bubble-burster: Bennett's ditty in Stewart's honor didn't seem to get over with the Twilight actress. Mistaken identity: Jones joked that she mistook Kristen and musical guest Alessia Cara for Keebler elves. Good company: Stewart could barely contain her smile around the talented comic, who was featured in last summer's Ghostbusters reboot. 'I wrote one for you too dude, that's so crazy,' said the actress, who's clad in a coffee brown V-neck shirt and torn black jeans, with her short auburn mane pushed back. After singing her serenade to Bennett - one word, saying his name - the sketch comedy actor snapped back, 'Wow, no last name, no fedora, you have a lot to do before Saturday.'. The broody beauty replied, 'I love you too dude,' when Beck - acting extra starstruck - flocked back to her side, only to be informed she 'was kind of kidding.'. ...

Kristen Stewart pictured earlier this month at the Sundance Film Festival (Picture: Nicholas Hunt/Getty). However, if Kristen and Rob could put their differences to one side – after all, she’s moved on with model girlfriend Stella Maxwell and he’s shacked up with singer FKA Twigs – it would be pretty awesome.

Twilight' Star Kristen Stewart Co-authors Artificial-intelligence Paper

... Studios LLC & Kristen Stewart. Neural style transfer. The technique described in the paper, called neural style transfer , differs from Instagram or Snapchat filters. "What current filters do is, they work with the information in the image," Joshi told Live Science. "A global operation like Instagram is just a color lookup." To create effects, Snapchat and Instagram use filters that are based on rules created by a human being; "if you come across this condition, do that to the image," he said. For example, in Snapchat, the software is "trained" to recognize eyes in a photo, so if you want to make a person's eyes look like a cartoon character's, it can do that (or, in one filter, switch the eyes between two faces). The researchers found that starting with a higher-quality "style image," in this case Stewart's painting, resulted in a better end result. Here, the right column holds the higher-quality starting image. Credit: copyright 2017 Starlight Studios LLC & Kristen Stewart.

Kristen Stewart Goes Unconventional

... done it her way since wrapping “The Twilight Saga” five (!) years ago, continued her Sinatran act with her eighth Sundance Film Festival appearance. Or is it her ninth? She can’t remember. Either way, this go-round is different. The former teen queen has for the first time come to the festival as a writer-director, for her new movie that was backed by, and will appear shortly on, the female-oriented website Refinery 29. As she sat in a storefront media lounge here on a snowy Friday afternoon, wearing a leather jacket, burgundy Adidas sneakers and a generous amount of makeup, Stewart described the animating principle of the 17-minute film. “I wanted to externalize a literally internal thought process,” she said. “I read through poems of mine from the past few years, and I was like, ‘I’m writing the same poem over and over. If I don’t make this movie, I can’t move on.’”. Was that ...
