【Watch Bridgette B - Scared Topless (2013)】

In between starring in a Rolling Stones music video,Watch Bridgette B - Scared Topless (2013) being a full-time celebrity and gearing up to premiere her directorial debut Come Swim, Kristen Stewart managed to find the time to co-author a paper on artificial intelligence.

Yep, artificial intelligence.

The paper, titled Bringing Impressionism to Life with Neural Style Transfer in Come Swim, tackles the artistic elements of artificial intelligence used in her upcoming film, and was co-authored along with the film's producer and a research engineer from Adobe.

Published on online archive arXiv, the paper lets the three authors reveal the methodologies used behind the Neutral Style Transfer, a new technique that takes "neural networks to artistically redraw an image in the style of a source style image." Essentially it is taking the artistic elements of an image and transfer it to another image, all in film post-production.

While Come Swim isn't widely available yet, the film (which was also written by Stewart) does revolve around a man's day through impressionist and realist portraits—making this the perfect film to explore this burgeoning technology.

It's an unexpected and fascinating glimpse at how artists are using technology to continue to bring machine learning into pop culture—and it's definitely a better love story than Twilight.
