Abstract

Neural style transfer is an image filtering technique used in both digital art practice and commercial software. We investigate blending the styles afforded by neural models via interpolation and overlaying different stylisations. In order to produce preset stylisation filters for the development of a casual creator app, we experiment with various MAP-Elites quality/diversity approaches to evolving style transfer blends with particular properties, while maintaining diversity in the population.
