• Title: Exploring Values in Museum Artifacts in the SPICE project: a Preliminary Study
• Authors: Nele Kadastik, Thomas A. Pederson, Luis Emilio Bruni, Rossana Damiano, Antonio Lieto, Manuel Striani, Tsvi Kuflik, Alan Wecker,
• Abstract summary: This document describes the rationale, the implementation and a preliminary evaluation of a semantic reasoning tool developed in the EU H 2020 SPICE project. The tool, called DEGARI 2.0 for values, relies on the commonsense reasoning framework TCL, and exploits an ontological model formalizingthe Haidt's theory of moral values to associate museum items with combined values and emotions.

• Abstract: This document describes the rationale, the implementation and a preliminary evaluation of a semantic reasoning tool developed in the EU H2020 SPICE project to enhance the diversity of perspectives experienced by museum visitors. The tool, called DEGARI 2.0 for values, relies on the commonsense reasoning framework TCL, and exploits an ontological model formalizingthe Haidt's theory of moral values to associate museum items with combined values and emotions. Within a museum exhibition, this tool can suggest cultural items that are associated not only with the values of already experienced or preferred objects, but also with novel items with different value stances, opening the visit experience to more inclusive interpretations of cultural content. The system has been preliminarily tested, in the context of the SPICE project, on the collection of the Hecht Museum of Haifa.

  Museums serve as vital repositories of cultural heritage and historical artifacts spanning diverse epochs, civilizations, and regions. We collect and curate a large-scale dataset of 65M images and 200M question-answer pairs in the standard museum catalog format for exhibits from all around the world. We train two VLMs from different categories: the BLIP model, with vision-language aligned embeddings, but lacking the expressive power of large language models, and the LLaVA model, a powerful instruction-tuned LLM enriched with vision-language reasoning capabilities.

  We focus on extrinsic evaluation of cultural competence in two text generation tasks. We evaluate model outputs when an explicit cue of culture, specifically nationality, is perturbed in the prompts. We find weak correlations between text similarity of outputs for different countries and the cultural values of these countries.

  AesBench is an expert benchmark aiming to comprehensively evaluate the aesthetic perception capacities of MLLMs. We construct an Expert-labeled Aesthetics Perception Database (EAPD), which features diversified image contents and high-quality annotations provided by professional aesthetic experts. We propose a set of integrative criteria to measure the aesthetic perception abilities of MLLMs from four perspectives, including Perception (AesP), Empathy (AesE), Assessment (AesA) and Interpretation (AesI)
