This paper aims to evaluate which automated measures of aesthetic beauty are the best predictors for human ratings of aesthetics and proposes that typicality and novelty may increase the correlation between the two. To study the correlation between these metrics, a literature study was performed to find a select amount of potentially good...

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) can create artwork images and we need effective ways of rating their aesthetic values. This could help us determine the most aesthetic artwork images (and identify the GANs that created them) and train GANs to produce more aesthetic artwork images in the future. In this research, we analyzed the...

A decrease in wellbeing worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic called for ways to assess wellbeing in a scalable and adequate manner. Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs) seem suitable, however, applying them optimally in certain contexts remains a challenge. This study aims to find ways to make CUIs more engaging and have a better experience...

Spiritual wellbeing is an important part of human wellbeing. As the field of positive design aims to design for human well-being, how may we design for spiritual well-being? As we address this question in a secular society, an opportunity is presented by a rise in practices that were not explored by traditional western religion but are indeed...
