A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style [pdf]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.06576 [non - pdf]

Here we introduce an artificial system based on a Deep Neural Network that creates artistic images of high perceptual quality. The system uses neural representations to separate and recombine content and style of arbitrary images, providing a neural algorithm for the creation of artistic images

Gatys, Echer, & Bethge

I don't know if this was deliberate or not, but the ordering of the authors' initials and subject matter strongly reminded me of Douglas Hofstadter's book Gödel, Escher, Bach (aka GEB)[1].

Although I possibly recall Hofstadter has remarked he is not a fan of hierarchical pattern recognition architectures like deep nets.

Video by paper authors - convincingly transforms photos, by applying artists style.

It's not by the authors and it adds nothing (wouldn't say it's worth watching), but he provides a great set of links in the description!
