# algorithm

The style transfer task’s training algorithm that prioritizes either speed or quality.

## Declaration

```swift
var algorithm: MLStyleTransfer.ModelParameters.ModelAlgorithmType
```

## Discussion

Discussion You choose the task’s training algorithm based on your intended use for this model. Use MLStyleTransfer.ModelParameters.ModelAlgorithmType.cnnLite to train a model that prioritizes speed to stylize images with low latency, typically for frames of a video stream. Otherwise, select MLStyleTransfer.ModelParameters.ModelAlgorithmType.cnn to train a model that applies a higher-quality stylization, typically for a still image.
