``pystiche``
============

``pystiche`` (pronounced
`/ˈpaɪˈstiʃ/ <http://ipa-reader.xyz/?text=%CB%88pa%C9%AA%CB%88sti%CA%83>`_ ) is a
framework for
`Neural Style Transfer (NST) <https://github.com/ycjing/Neural-Style-Transfer-Papers>`_
built upon `PyTorch <https://pytorch.org>`_. The name of the project is a pun on
*pastiche* `meaning <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastiche>`_:

    A pastiche is a work of visual art [...] that imitates the style or character of
    the work of one or more other artists. Unlike parody, pastiche celebrates, rather
    than mocks, the work it imitates.

``pystiche`` has similar goals as Deep Learning (DL) frameworks such as PyTorch:

1. **Accessibility**
    Starting off with NST can be quite overwhelming due to the sheer amount of
    techniques one has to know and be able to deploy. ``pystiche`` aims to provide an
    easy-to-use interface that reduces the necessary prior knowledge about NST and DL
    to a minimum.
2. **Reproducibility**
    Implementing NST from scratch is not only inconvenient but also error-prone.
    ``pystiche`` aims to provide reusable tools that let developers focus on their
    ideas rather than worrying about bugs in everything around it.


Installation
============

``pystiche`` is a proper Python package and can be installed with ``pip``. The latest
release can be installed with

.. code-block:: sh

  pip install pystiche

Usage
=====

``pystiche`` makes it easy to define the optimization criterion for an NST task fully
compatible with PyTorch. For example, the banner above was generated with the following
``criterion``:

.. code-block:: python

  from pystiche import enc, loss, ops

  multi_layer_encoder = enc.vgg19_multi_layer_encoder()

  criterion = loss.PerceptualLoss(
      content_loss=ops.FeatureReconstructionOperator(
          multi_layer_encoder.extract_encoder("relu4_2")
      ),
      style_loss=ops.MultiLayerEncodingOperator(
          multi_layer_encoder,
          ("relu1_1", "relu2_1", "relu3_1", "relu4_1", "relu5_1"),
          lambda encoder, layer_weight: ops.GramOperator(
              encoder, score_weight=layer_weight
          ),
          score_weight=1e3,
      ),
  )
