Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
We revisit the long-standing question of the relation between image appreciation and its statistical properties. We generate two different sets of random images well distributed along three measures of entropic complexity. We run a large-scale survey in which people are asked to sort the images by preference, which reveals maximum appreciation at intermediate entropic complexity. We show that the algorithmic complexity of the coarse-grained images, expected to capture structural complexity while abstracting from high frequency noise, is a good predictor of preferences. Our analysis suggests that there might exist some universal quantitative criteria for aesthetic judgment.
