A Year in Computer Vision

I'm thinking that the deep learning field will become like web development: it's becoming so simple that everybody can do it.

This article gives some evidence: [1], quoting:

> researchers were a bit perplexed when actress and director Kristen Stewart [2] appeared as an author on a machine learning paper.

I might be wrong, and I don't want to question the possibility that someone from a non-technical domain can contribute to technical domains (in particular because neural networks and style transfer are basically high school mathematics; and since this happened before [1]), but it seems to me that the paper in question does not contain much technical innovation, but it is rather a demonstration of how existing techniques can be used in practice [2].
