About the Model

Model Overview

This tool accompanies the research manuscript Commitment over Compromise: The Unique Aesthetic Rewards of Stylistic Commitment, which examines how clearly expressing a design style, rather than occupying a stylistic middle ground, shapes aesthetic appeal. Using minimalism and maximalism as two distinct design styles, the tool employs a trained computer-vision model (ResNet-18) to estimate where a design falls along the minimalism–maximalism stylistic continuum.

Interpreting the Style Score

The predicted Style Score indicates a design’s position along the minimalism–maximalism stylistic continuum. Increasingly negative scores indicate stronger stylistic commitment to minimalism, whereas increasingly positive scores indicate stronger stylistic commitment to maximalism. Scores closer to zero reflect a more moderate position along the continuum, corresponding to stylistically compromised designs that do not clearly express either style. Because the scores are mean-centered, zero represents the mean of the expert ratings used to train the model rather than an absolute boundary between stylistic categories.
