This paper will report on techniques and critical methodologies used in the Fashion Institute of Technology’s recently launched Fashion Calendar Research Database. The project is an innovative open-source research tool that enables experimental approaches to the understanding and study of the fashion and creative industries throughout the twentieth-and-early-twenty-first centuries.


Smell and Emotion: Recognising Emotions in Smell-Related Artworks

Patoliya, Vishal; Zinnen, Mathias; Maier, Andreas; Christlein, Vincent

Pattern Recognition Lab, Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany

Emotions and smell are underrepresented in digital art history. In this exploratory work, we show that recognising emotions from smell-related artworks is technically feasible but has room for improvement. Using style transfer and hyperparameter optimization we achieve a minor performance boost and open up the field for future extensions.

Cette proposition porte sur le développement d’une ontologie informatique destinée à la documentation des accrochages d’expositions et de collections. Çoncue indépendant de toute technologie de visualisation a priori, l’utilisation d’un modèle documentatire formel présente l’avantage de garantir la pérennité et la conservation à long terme des données enregistrées.
