 Refer to `neural_style/neural_style.py` for other command line arguments. For training new models you might have to tune the values of `--content-weight` and `--style-weight`. The mosaic style model shown above was trained with `--content-weight 1e5` and `--style-weight 1e10`. The remaining 3 models were also trained with similar order of weight parameters with slight variation in the `--style-weight` (`5e10` or `1e11`).
