Sites like this make me think twice about the craft, which is quickly becoming, as noted, an pretty algorithm.hellophotokittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17531706202087141334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-75058070911071221022009-06-29T23:51:39.426-06:002009-06-29T23:51:39.426-06:00Hi, thanks for this.

Although ACQUINE is an interesting project I share your doubts and I've posted a critique of some of the scientific aspects at http://chrisrust.wordpress.com/2009/05/16/acquine-is-this-how-to-engineer-affect/<br />This feels like a group of engineers who are trying to do something that might be worthwhile in the very long run, but their experiments are flawed by a complete failure to confront the question of what aesthetics actually means.Chris Rusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920435402219099677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-49671698592241681122009-06-11T12:42:55.306-06:002009-06-11T12:42:55.306-06:00AQUINE learns to rate by associating features with...AQUINE learns to rate by associating features with a set of already rated images. The training set *was* photo.net. The features used were "camera-club level", like rule of third, saturation, texture. There is no way it would account for higher-level considerations which would apply in the images you tested.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15160650093834202394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-67374502360625519222009-05-29T07:59:16.645-06:002009-05-29T07:59:16.645-06:00My god sometimes i wonder why i get out of bedMy god sometimes i wonder why i get out of bedslidelineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08595228372231206376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-46136008173892061692009-05-28T00:13:20.113-06:002009-05-28T00:13:20.113-06:00A special note of thanks to Tim for running "Ringe...A special note of thanks to Tim for running "Ringers" through Aquine. <br /><br /><br /> Even if this thing worked to perfection, it is as meaningless as a Photo.net "Originality: 5.6, Aesthetics: 4.4."<br /><br /> How is that useful to anybody?<br /><br /><br /> This is a pathetic addition to the photographic landscape's dystopiary. <br /><br /> How long before a dumbed-down version of this finds its way into DSLRs to tell you how to frame and when to shoot something that will please the masses? And if someone doesn't get it, you can always show them the score.<br /><br /><br /> Imagine the poet saying to her beloved: How do I love thee? Let me count...ah... a 6.8.<br /><br /><br />--- Luis<br /> _______________________________<br /><br /><br /> Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)<br /><br />How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.<br /><br />I love thee to the depth and breadth and height<br /><br />My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight<br /><br />For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.<br /><br />I love thee to the level of everyday's<br /><br />Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.<br /><br />I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;<br /><br />I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.<br /><br />I love thee with a passion put to use<br /><br />In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.<br /><br />I love thee with a love I seemed to lose<br /><br />With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,<br /><br />Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,<br /><br />I shall but love thee better after death.Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14942782882001678270noreply@blogger.com
