  Recent works have shown that it is possible to automatically predict
intrinsic image properties like memorability. In this paper, we take a step
forward addressing the question: "Can we make an image more memorable?".
Methods for automatically increasing image memorability would have an impact in
many application fields like education, gaming or advertising. Our work is
inspired by the popular editing-by-applying-filters paradigm adopted in photo
editing applications, like Instagram and Prisma. In this context, the problem
of increasing image memorability maps to that of retrieving "memorabilizing"
filters or style "seeds". Still, users generally have to go through most of the
available filters before finding the desired solution, thus turning the editing
process into a resource and time consuming task. In this work, we show that it
is possible to automatically retrieve the best style seeds for a given image,
thus remarkably reducing the number of human attempts needed to find a good
match. Our approach leverages from recent advances in the field of image
synthesis and adopts a deep architecture for generating a memorable picture
from a given input image and a style seed. Importantly, to automatically select
the best style a novel learning-based solution, also relying on deep models, is
proposed. Our experimental evaluation, conducted on publicly available
benchmarks, demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach for
generating memorable images through automatic style seed selection
