Impressive quick build of a neural style transfer service
From 2 comments
Funny, I hacked something like this together too recently, although it did take me a bit longer. Nice job!
dutchbrit on HNI'd be really surprised if someone isn't already hard at work on an iOS app that uses this tech. The scalability is of course a problem, but I'd pay 50 cents per photo (assuming…

Idea of audio style transfer is interesting
From 1 comment
> I'd like to understand this algorithm well enough to generalize it to other media (mainly thinking about sound right now) A DeepDream for audio would be very interesting.

Objections
Output image is too small
From 1 comment
can we get a bigger version of the resulting image? The output is very small.

Signup link after submit is confusing
From 1 comment
Will there be an API for this for digital-only, high resolution pics? Some feedback too: 1) when submitting it was a bit weird that I have to upload pics in order vs explicitly…

Upload flow is unclear and the form is hard to use

benologist on HNI accidentally submitted something four different times, since I thought the form wasn't loading. Does it just start as soon as you post two images, without a submit button?

Is commercial use of the VGG-based output permitted?
From 1 comment
Might want to take a look at: https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style/issues/7 Oh, and since you're basically using this commercially you might also want to take a look at the…

Could patents on the underlying technique affect this service?
From 1 comment
I'm sure they're trying to patent it. (eg DeepMind has been patenting everything they can, even stuff like dropout and deep q-learning!) Which raises an interesting question:…
