20This is an implementation of the paper
21[A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style](http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.06576) by Leon
22A. Gatys, Alexander S. Ecker, and Matthias Bethge.

24## How to use
25
26First use `download.sh` to download pre-trained model and sample inputs
27
28Then run `python nstyle.py`, use `-h` to see more options

30## Sample results

34It takes 30 secs for a Titan X to generate the above 600x400 image.

36## Note
37
38* The current implementation is based the
39 [torch implementation](https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style). But we may
40 change it dramatically in the near future.
41
42* We will release multi-GPU version soon.
