Previous work in aesthetic categorization and explainability utilizes manual labeling and classification to explain aesthetic scores. These methods require a complex labeling process and are limited in size. Our proposed approach attempts to explain aesthetic assessment models through visualizing dataset trends and automatic categorization of visual aesthetic features through training neural networks on different versions of the same dataset. By evaluating the models adapted to each specific modality using existing and novel metrics, we can capture and visualize aesthetic features and trends.
