Neural Aesthetic Image Reviewer [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Recently, there is a rising interest in perceiving image aesthetics. The existing works deal with image aesthetics as a classification or regression problem. To extend the cognition from rating to reasoning, a deeper understanding of aesthetics should be based on revealing why a high- or low-aesthetic score should be assigned to an image.

Strengthening urban deer management with structured decision making
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban deer management (UDM) decision‐makers face social, ecological, regulatory, and economic pressures when creating an agreeable deer management plan for stakeholders. Historically, decision making techniques (e.g. consensus‐based analyses) have not effectively balanced UDM elements leading to short‐lived management progress.

MC-curves and aesthetic measurements for pseudospiral curve segments [PDF]
Mathematical Design & Technical Aesthetics 1(1), 6-17, 2013, 2013 This article studies families of curves with monotonic curvature function (MC-curves) and their applications in geometric modelling and aesthetic design. Aesthetic analysis and assessment of the structure and plastic qualities of pseudospirals, which are curves with monotonic curvature function, are conducted for the first time in the field of ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.A framework for the support of pollinators in urban areas is developed here, based on five pillars: nesting, flower resources, artificial support, management and society acceptance, with additional key elements from science and society. Society should incorporate strategies for pollinators as in this framework by means of co‐planning with stakeholders,

AesExpert: Towards Multi-modality Foundation Model for Image Aesthetics Perception [PDF]
arXivThe highly abstract nature of image aesthetics perception (IAP) poses significant challenge for current multimodal large language models (MLLMs). The lack of human-annotated multi-modality aesthetic data further exacerbates this dilemma, resulting in MLLMs falling short of aesthetics perception capabilities.

Aesthetic Attributes Assessment of Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Image aesthetic quality assessment has been a relatively hot topic during the last decade. Most recently, comments type assessment (aesthetic captions) has been proposed to describe the general aesthetic impression of an image using text. In this paper, we propose Aesthetic Attributes Assessment of Images, which means the aesthetic attributes ...
