Why do some images appear beautiful while others do not? Research in empirical aesthetics has long sought to answer this question by analysing large image datasets and comparing their visual properties with people’s ratings. However, most existing datasets combine two levels of information that are difficult to disentangle: low-level visual features and high-level semantic content. … Read more
