Seeing a lot of cool StyleSynthesis stuff lately, and as a newbie tinkering with it, I'm wondering how people actually evaluate the quality of the outputs. It's not always as simple as "does it look good?" because sometimes an intentional stylistic choice might seem bad at first glance.
Are there specific metrics or frameworks people use, especially when trying to compare different models or parameter settings? For example, if you're trying to synthesize an image in the style of van Gogh, do you look for specific brushstroke characteristics, colour palettes, or compositional elements that are hallmarks of his style? Or is it more subjective and relies heavily on human visual inspection, possibly using things like side-by-side comparisons and A/B testing?
I'd love to hear how more experienced users approach this! Knowing how to critically assess the results would be a huge help in understanding what's working and what isn't. Any tips on avoiding common pitfalls in evaluation would also be greatly appreciated.
