Smell and Emotion: Recognising emotions in smell-related artworks

Vishal Patoliya, Mathias Zinnen, Andreas Maier, Vincent Christlein

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.
