Abstract: In response to the problems of insufficient personalised feedback and poor real-time performance in traditional music teaching, this paper proposes an interactive teaching mode based on wireless sensor networks and multimodal data fusion. By deploying multiple sensors to collect real-time data on students performance movements, audio, and physiological states, the Gaussian Bayesian algorithm is fused and denoised before uploading to the cloud platform. Then, the weighted matrix factorisation algorithm is used to generate personalised error correction content and push it out. Experiments have shown that this mode reduces sensor data transmission by 78.8%, reduces energy consumption to 0.33J, and achieves a push hit rate of 95.2%, forming an efficient interactive loop and providing precise solutions for the digitisation of music teaching.

Abstract: To tackle the declining precision of sentiment analysis for online educational website reviews via the LDA topic model, I propose the innovative TWBEWC-TFWW-LDA algorithm, integrating emotion word co-occurrence-based theme word bags (TWBEWC) and topic feature word weighting (TFWW). It constructs emotional topic word bags, extracts sentiment-laden topic words via semantic similarity, weights them by significance and distribution, and performs LDA clustering. Experiments show that with 15 emotion topic feature words, its text clustering accuracy, recall and F1 reach 0.812, 0.802 and 0.810 respectively; it also achieves 88%, 96% and 90% accuracy in classifying aversion, surprise and neutrality. This enhanced accuracy refines online education sentiment analysis for college students, optimizing course design and teaching methods.

Abstract: This paper proposed generative adversarial network (GAN) with a shared latent space (sLS-GAN) to improve controllability and cultural adaptability in art style transfer. By integrating a variational autoencoder (VAE) with adversarial learning, it constructs a shared latent space that enables high-quality bidirectional translation between greyscale and colour image domains. Latent-space alignment improves realism and semantic coherence, while cycle-consistency regularises forward-backward mappings. A dual up-sampling/dual down-sampling design enhances structural stability across domains. In addition, a residual saliency network strengthens salient-region modelling and improves efficiency, reducing reliance on explicit content-preservation constraints. Experiments on the WikiArt Paintings and SemArt datasets show that sLS-GAN achieves an FID of 106.45 on WikiArt and outperforms representative baselines in Inception Score and PSNR, indicating improved semantic consistency, diversity, and perceptual quality. In greyscale colourisation, sLS-GAN reduces parameters by 89.5% and FLOPs by 87.8% versus conventional models, delivering substantial computational savings.

Abstract: Against the backdrop of ongoing cultural and tourism integration and the accelerated restructuring of creative content production, talent cultivation and innovation-entrepreneurship education in university animation programs face new structural demands. Traditional course evaluation methods can no longer accurately reflect the alignment among course content, practical components, and industry needs. In response, China has introduced the strategic initiative of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" and implemented a series of policies to support student entrepreneurship. This study aims to analyze the structural relationship between entrepreneurship course content and teaching objectives, focusing on the creative content production demands driven by the cultural and tourism industry. Utilizing the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE), this study proposes an innovation and entrepreneurship education (IEE) evaluation system. By constructing a multi-level evaluation model that integrates both quantitative and qualitative data, this system provides a comprehensive assessment of entrepreneurship education for college animation students.

Abstract: With the deepening of global cultural exchange, translation quality has become increasingly important in cultural communication. Traditional machine translation methods often struggle to meet expectations, especially when dealing with multimodal content such as video subtitles, audio narration, and text embedded in images related to Heitu culture. These conventional approaches frequently fail to handle long-range dependencies and complex semantic structures. This study leverages multimedia artificial intelligence to combine the sequence modeling capabilities of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks with the global information capture of Transformer models. This integration improves the handling of long-range dependencies and semantic consistency across heterogeneous data sources. When applied to complex multimedia materials related to Heitu culture, the proposed method demonstrates significantly higher translation quality. Through the introduction of a reinforcement learning mechanism, the proposed model can dynamically adjust translation strategies when processing culturally specific terminology and emotional nuances, thereby enhancing cultural adaptability in translations.

DOI: 10.1504/IJART.2026.10074166 Quantitative Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Preservation of Modern Urban Residential Buildings in Shanghai (1910-1949) by Lu Chen Abstract: This study examines modern residential buildings in Shanghai 19101949), analysing the dynamic relationships among architecture, inhabitants, the environment, and society. Addressing the urgent need to conserve Shanghai historical structures, it establishes key evaluation metrics for preservation effectiveness. Employing a quantitative approach validated by a BP neural network model, the analysis demonstrates that current conservation strategies fail to fully harness their potential to drive economic growth, enhance resident quality of life, foster environmental sustainability, or enrich urban cultural heritage. Recognising the intrinsic link between historical preservation and collective well-being encompassing human, environmental, and societal dimensions the research develops optimisation strategies to maximise conservation outcomes. The goal is to significantly elevate the impact of preservation efforts on these buildings, establishing a benchmark for scholarly research, policy formulation, and heritage management in Shanghai and analogous contexts.

By comprehensively utilizing the characteristics of audio and image signals, a more comprehensive and accurate music signal processing method was proposed to comprehensively and accurately understand music emotions. The music emotion data from MediaEval Emotion in Music, MagnaTagATune Dataset, EmoReact Dataset, and DEAM Dataset were selected, preprocessed, and mapped to represent music emotions using Valence and Arousal. The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) - Residual Network (ResNet) model was constructed, with the LSTM module used to extract audio features and the ResNet module used to extract image features. In the fusion layer, the features extracted by the LSTM module and ResNet module were fused 1:1. A music recommendation system was constructed based on user historical preferences and recognition results of music emotions. The experimental results showed that the average accuracy of LSTM-ResNet model in music emotion classification on DEAM Dataset was as high as 98.5%. The combination of LSTM and ResNet can enhance the performance of music emotion classification and provide new methods for music recommendation tasks.

DOI: 10.1504/IJART.2026.10075220 Aesthetic Relevance of Generative Artificial Intelligence by Umberto Roncoroni Abstract: This article examines the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) on contemporary art, creative practice, and education. Evaluating the benefits and drawbacks of GAI is difficult due to the accelerated development of technology and weak academic relationships among aesthetics and computer science. To elucidate GAI, we propose setting aside metaphysical dilemmas and concentrating on the aesthetic problems of AI such as romantic influences, technocentric approaches to creativity, black boxes, and misunderstanding about the properties of digital media. Through an approach that combines philosophical analysis, computer science, and art-based research, we compare the Dadaist Poem by Tzara with GAI to verify its coherence with contemporary art development. We found that GAI contradicts contemporary art innovations and the aesthetic potential of digital media. The results demonstrate why GAI will jeopardize the development of creative and significant art and proffer a review of theories, methods, and interdisciplinary references.

Traditional human-centered approaches are insufficient for complex socio-technical challenges; students need new frameworks to understand human and non-human actor interactions. ANT analyzes HCI systems, emphasizing human-technology co-construction while recognizing human agency. Speculative design provides innovative methods for exploring HCI possibilities through provocative artifacts and narratives. A workshop guided students in applying ANT and speculative design to analyze More-than-Human systems, comparing human participation and AI-assisted generation results. This demonstrated AI's potential to enrich HCI education. The research offers a comprehensive framework combining theory and practice, fostering students' critical thinking and innovative awareness for envisioning future human-computer interaction designs.

This paper proposes a deep transfer framework with cultural semantic guidance and multi-scale style decoupling. Firstly, this paper constructs annotation data covering typical artistic styles of various ethnic groups, and designs a semantic embedding module to encode intangible attributes such as pattern symbolism, colour taboos, and composition paradigms as style guidance signals. Secondly, this paper designs a dual path feature decoupling network in the content encoder to maintain the structural semantics of the product carrier. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper achieves FID accuracy of 27.3 Keywords: Ethnic Folk Art; Deep Learning; Style Transfer; Cultural and Creative Product Design; Cultural Semantic Embedding. DOI: 10.1504/IJART.2027.10076929 Intelligent Data Processing and Visual Design: Big Data Computing Promotes Innovation in Graphic Communication by Xinchun Wang, Dichen Li, Haolin Xiong Abstract: Traditional visual design is often limited to static presentation, lacking dynamic interaction and intelligent analysis, making it difficult to fully showcase the complexity and changing trends of data. This paper combines the language image pre training (CLIP) model and generative adversarial network (GAN) to extract semantic information from text descriptions, generate high-quality graphic designs, and achieve semantic based visualisation of creative data. This paper uses the CLIP model to analyse user provided text descriptions, extract semantic features of the data, and convert them into high-dimensional feature vectors. These features are then input into a GAN generator, which generates high-quality graphs that conform to the semantic description through generative adversarial mechanisms. The results showed that the SSIM and PSNR values of the generated images were 0.95 and 33.5 dB, respectively, and the frame rate and response time of dynamic interaction were 45 FPS and 32 ms, respectively.

Wayang Kulit, a traditional Indonesian art form, is an important entertainment medium and also an embodiment of important moral and cultural values. However, its existence is increasingly threatened by waning youth interest and limited digital documentation. Artificial intelligence facilitates deeper analysis, improved recognition, and sustainable digital cultural preservation. This paper describes WayangFusionNet, a new hybrid model that combines multi-scale feature extraction from EfficientNetV2B3 with a cross-modal transformer for character recognition. It outperforms existing models, achieving a test accuracy of 99.27%. Qualitative analyses, such as confusion matrices, class activation maps, and t-SNE visualisations, validate the model's ability to establish and convey distinct features. The experiment results confirm the ability of digital technology to preserve endangered art forms and revive the art's values for future use.

DOI: 10.1504/IJART.2027.10077160 A Self-supervised Sub-style Separation Framework for Artistic Painting Classification by Rui Huang, J.I.A. CUI, Che Jiang, Chengran Hu, Meng Qi, Zhelin Li Abstract: Art style classification remains challenging due to subjective style delineation and the coexistence of multi-stylistic features within a single painting, which limit the effectiveness of conventional feature-learning strategies. This study proposes a Self-Supervised Learning-based sub-style Modelling method (SSLM) that models the sub-style distribution in enhanced views of a painting using introduced variance and covariance losses to extract a more stable and discriminative style representation. Experiments on style databases demonstrate that SSLM outperforms state-of-the-art methods in handling style ambiguity. Furthermore, we introduce a style uncertainty index to quantify the dominance of principal styles over sub-styles. Based on this metric, we construct a new dataset, P2, using a style-cleaning algorithm to enhance style purity. The accuracy of supervised models on P2 is improved through experiments, demonstrating the efficiency of cleaning style uncertainty. The proposed study offers new insights into art style classification through the sub-style modelling mechanism and style uncertainty quantification.

First, ResNet-50 extracts multi-scale features (shallow conv1, middle res3, deep res5) with spatial alignment via upsampling and channel concatenation. The SE (squeeze-and-excitation) module dynamically adjusts channel weights through sigmoid-constrained intervals. Second, a dual-path Transformer architecture uses VGG19 (visual geometry group)-extracted style features as Key vectors and content features as Query vectors, achieving cross-domain alignment via similarity matrix calculations.

DOI: 10.1504/IJART.2027.10077167 Practice of Multimodal Music Teaching Mode Based on Artificial Intelligence by Jie Liu Abstract: This paper takes EG and CG as the research objects to explore the differences between EG and CG. The pre-test is mainly to test the difference in music between EG and CG, and to compare with the students after the experiment. The post-experiment is divided into three phases: post-test, questionnaire, and interview. The post-test uses students' final exam scores as indicators to compare the learning effects of EG and CG, and to test the effect of the multimodal teaching model in music teaching. After the test, the same questionnaire was distributed to EG and CG to determine whether their musical interest improved. On this basis, the teacher randomly selected 10 students from EG to investigate their interest in multimodal teaching methods. The average scores of the pre-test and post-test of EG were 21.85 and 27.03, respectively, indicating that multimodal teaching can promote students' music learning.

DOI: 10.1504/IJART.2027.10077173 Emotion Recognition in Artworks: Multimodal Data Analysis Based on Deep Learning Algorithms by Ying Bai, Liping Ouyang Abstract: Traditional art emotion recognition methods have limitations such as single feature extraction, strong subjectivity, and low recognition accuracy. This paper proposes a deep multimodal feature fusion method based on cross attention mechanism, which achieves fine-grained bidirectional interaction between visual, textual, and metadata patterns. This study uses an accurate cross database matching strategy to construct a high-quality multimodal dataset containing 32178 valid samples, integrating visual images, text descriptions, and structured metadata. The accuracy of this method on the test set is 92.7%, with an F1 score of 91.4%, which is significantly better than visual input only (85.2%) and text input only (79.8%). Compared with early and late fusion strategies, it improved accuracy and F1 score by approximately 4.3 to 5.7 percentage points, demonstrating its potential for application in digital humanities, intelligent curation, and other fields.

For this purpose, this paper applies multimodal point cloud feature fusion and 3D generative adversarial processing. Firstly, a multimodal mapping function is used to encode the laser scanned point cloud, image sequence, and computed tomography (CT) slices into a dense 3D feature tensor. Next, the discriminator uses multi-scale convolution kernels to determine the geometric consistency between the generated point cloud and the ground truth point cloud at both local and global levels, and approximates the true distribution of lost artefacts by jointly optimising adversarial loss and geometric reconstruction error. The results show that when the defect rate is 10%40%, the chamfer distance of the proposed method increases from 0.30 mm to 0.47 mm; the average point spacing deviation increases from 0.13 mm to 0.22 mm.

DOI: 10.1504/IJART.2027.10077430 Design and Implementation of a Chinese Painting Style Copying System based on Image Recognition and Style Transfer Algorithm by Yifan Xue Abstract: Neural replication of Chinese ink painting demands stroke-level semantics and physics-aware modelling of ink-wash gradients and paper-fibre micro-textures. We integrated a stroke recogniser with a physics-guided, multi-scale style-transfer module, incorporating Darcy and anisotropic-diffusion priors, and evaluated fidelity, robustness, and efficiency.Trained on 2,900 Chinese ink paintings (2,400 internal; 500 external) spanning shan shui and hua niao genres, across resolutions up to 4,0962 and various Xuan papers/inks, our multi-branch CNN stroke recogniser and stroke-conditioned encoder-decoder outperformed baselines (Gatys NST, AdaIN, dual-path diffusion).Metrics showed superior performance: SSIM 0.928 (vs. 0.902), LPIPS 0.1680.186 (vs. 0.1980.218), SCDS 0.816 (vs. 0.772), stroke recognition macro-F1 0.892 and mIoU 0.803. Expert ratings (n=15) favoured our method (8.18.4 vs. 7.37.8). External validation SSIM reached 0.921, with efficient 4,0962 inference (12.4 s).This stroke-conditioned, physics-guided system achieves higher fidelity, cultural authenticity, cross-domain robustness, and high-resolution efficiency, advancing conservation-grade digital replication of cultural heritage.

Firstly, based on the ETH 3D and MuralDH public datasets, this paper improves input consistency through preprocessing methods such as illumination normalisation, multispectral registration, and highlight separation. Secondly, in the 3D reconstruction stage, this paper introduces texture confidence weighting and multispectral feature fusion mechanisms, and then constructs a lightweight neural radiation field (NeRF) model, embedding a dynamic detail level mechanism for texture perception. The experiment shows that this method compresses the model volume to 16.6 MB, and at a high fidelity level of PSNR of 32.7 dB and SSIM of 0.936, the average frame rate on the network side is 42.3 fps, which is significantly better than the baseline scheme.

This paper proposes a novel deep learning method that integrates conditional generative adversarial networks and multi-scale convolutional neural networks for personalised artistic creation. The technique utilises cGAN to process user-input text descriptions, sketches, or style labels as conditional vectors, generating artworks with specific styles and content. MS-CNN improves diversity and refinement in style transfer, achieving precise fusion through an adaptive style extraction mechanism. Experimental outcomes demonstrate a seamless integration of style and content; image similarity exceeds 0.8, and the artistic style score exceeds 6 on a ten-point scale, enhancing personalised expression. The core innovation is the collaborative framework that simultaneously optimises content generation and style fusion, addressing the imbalance in traditional approaches. This research provides a new technical path for personalised artistic creation and advances the application of deep learning in art.

DOI: 10.1504/IJART.2027.10078502 Construction of Gender Identities through Cosmetic Advertisement: A Case Study by Uzma Nazar, Hussain Othman, Sadia Deep, Nazia Suleman, Hina Shaheen Abstract: This study examines how cosmetic advertisements construct and reshape female identity within an Islamic societal context, focusing on the linguistic strategies used to promote idealised images of women. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research analyses the Golden Rose cosmetic booklet through textual and sociolinguistic analysis to identify how vocabulary, imagery, and embedded messages contribute to identity formation. The analysis reveals that the advertisements employ persuasive linguistic devices, such as metaphors, personification, and exaggerated descriptors, to promote unrealistic standards of beauty associated with glamour, youthfulness, desirability, and perfection. These linguistic and visual cues collectively construct an artificial female identity that contrasts sharply with womens real-life attributes and living standards. The studys key contribution lies in demonstrating how cosmetic advertising language subtly manipulates perceptions of femininity, encouraging women to internalise commoditised and idealised identities. The findings highlight the need for greater awareness of the socio-cultural impact of advertising discourse and its role in shaping womens self-perception in contemporary Islamic societies Keywords: Gender Identity Construction; Cosmetic Advertising Discourse; Linguistic Strategies; Idealised Femininity; Sociocultural Representation. DOI: 10.1504/IJART.2027.10078673 Investigating the Digital Exhibition Experience at the Huangmei Opera Museum through MOS by Li Yang, Liliana Soares, Rute Gomes, Nankai Cheng Abstract: This study examines visitor perceptions of the Huangmei Opera Museum’s digital exhibition through an MOS-based post-visit questionnaire. Rather than treating Mean Opinion Score (MOS) as a complete theory of user experience, the study uses it as a descriptive aggregation method to summarize visitors’ ratings across five evaluation dimensions adapted from Kaasinen et al.’s UX goal-setting framework: brand, theory, empathy, technology, and vision. Based on 38 valid responses collected in Anhui Province, the results show relatively positive evaluations of the brand, theory, empathy, and vision dimensions, while the Technology dimension received comparatively lower ratings. The findings suggest that digital exhibition design in opera museums should move beyond the mere presence of technology and place greater emphasis on interpretive depth, narrative engagement, and meaningful interaction. As an exploratory case study, the paper offers a context-specific contribution to user experience evaluation in digital heritage exhibitions and provides practical implications for museum design.

Abstract: To solve the issues of structural mismatch, lack of controllability of harmony and texture, and insufficient realism of generated samples due to exposure bias in existing artificial intelligence models for polyphonic music generation, this study studies and designs a novel polyphonic artificial intelligence (AI) music generation algorithm based on transformer and adversarial mechanisms. Findings denote that the controllable choral transformer model achieves a test accuracy of up to 93.52% in the alto part, with a note error rate as low as 6.48%. The proposed model also achieves a training accuracy of 94.86%, a note-chord consistency score of 0.752, and a melody-chord pitch distance of only 0.853. The proposed algorithm, by combining relative position attention, multidimensional conditional control, and adversarial training, effectively improves the structural rationality and harmonic consistency of generated music, providing an efficient and feasible technical solution for AI-assisted music creation and personalised music generation.

Abstract: Music style defines a musical works overall characteristics, while beats carry emotional undertones, and dance consists of rhythmic movements. This study introduces a music style and beat recognition model based on a genetic algorithm, optimising feature extraction and model selection to improve recognition accuracy. Results demonstrate that the model classifies music into three styles and correspondingly reclassifies the beat dataset. Combined with the previous music style recognition results, the most suitable model is selected from multiple beat recognition models through adaptive selection of fitness function to realise the final beat recognition of the song to be tested. Experimental results show that the model achieves good performance on F-measure and other metrics, and can effectively identify beat characteristics across different music styles. Through error analysis, it identifies the failure case laws of blues, rock and other styles, and provides data support for the accurate adaptation of performance actions and music emotions.

Abstract: With the advancement of AI in artistic creation, deep learning-based music generation research has become an integration direction of intelligent media and digital art. This paper proposes an automatic melody generation and arrangement auxiliary system for music production, based on the transformer architecture. The self-attention mechanism and style embedding model are constructed, and the system captures the long-term dependence between notes in the process of melody generation, thus realising the dynamic coordination of rhythm and pitch. The research results prove the effectiveness of transformer structure in the task of music sequence generation, and also show the application potential of artificial intelligence in music creation assistance, automatic arrangement and personalised melody generation. The system is applied in the fields of intelligent arrangement, digital music education, film and game music, etc., which provides a feasible path and technical basis for the realisation of man-machine collaborative creation.
