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].
