Simple CNN-based Artist Classifier

This repo contains a simple CNN-based Keras model which classifies images into one of 8 artistic trends.

  • The purpose of this model was for a quick prototyping
  • Data has been web-crawled using https://github.com/YoongiKim/AutoCrawler
  • 8 popular artists/painters were chosen:
    • [TREND]: [ID]
    • cubism: 0,
    • expressionism: 1,
    • fauvisme: 2,
    • graffitiar: 3,
    • impressionism: 4,
    • popart: 5,
    • post_impressionism: 6,
    • surrealism: 7}
  • About 100 representative paintings per artist considering 8 trends were crawled and manually checked
  • Dataset will be shared later

How to use

import tensorflow as tf
from huggingface_hub import from_pretrained_keras
model = from_pretrained_keras("jkang/drawing-artistic-trend-classifier")

image_file = 'kandinski.jpg'
img = tf.io.read_file(image_file)
img = tf.io.decode_jpeg(img, channels=3)

last_layer_activation, predictions = model(img[tf.newaxis,...])

Intended uses & limitations

You can use this model freely for predicting artists or trends of a given image. Please keep in mind that this model is not intended for the production, but for a research and quick prototyping. Web-crawled image data might not have balanced amount of drawings that sufficiently represent the artists.
