A study on the cross-application of fractal geometry and garden design aesthetics

Abstract Currently there is a lack of research on garden design combined with fractal geometry, and most of the research results remain in qualitative analysis and subjective analysis. In this paper, we quantitatively analyze garden design based on fractal geometry to promote the development and innovation of aesthetics in garden design. Based on the reading of literature and other materials, the theory of fractal geometry and its application in the field of garden design are summarized. Based on Gabriel Lame’s design, we constructed the basic unit shape and layout representation using AutoCAD software to realize mathematical modeling design. A good fit of plant fractal dimension was indicated by the coefficient of determination of plant fractal dimension in the study subject garden being 0.9583. Based on the known logN(r) and log(1/r) of 0.1563 and 0.1013, respectively, the value of the fractal dimension of the garden site was derived as 1.54294 by applying the corresponding formula.The regression equation for the contribution of the fractal dimension of each element of the landscape of the mountains and rocks = 0.118-0.0407*Wigwam + 0.277*Wigwam and building combination+0.438*Wigwam and plant combination-0.019*Building+0.306*Building and plant combination-0.022*Plant, and the model R2 is 0.863. This study not only provides reference for future design and quantitative analysis of the antique gardens, but also provides new ideas for the construction of a better human environment and landscaping works.

How to improve voice assistant evaluations: Understanding the role of attachment with a socio-technical systems perspective

With the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) powered voice assistants (VAs) and increasingly homogeneous competition among enterprises, it is critically important to understand the driving factors behind consumer VA evaluations. Drawing on attachment theory and socio-technical systems theory, this study proposes a theoretical model to examine how social and technical attributes of VAs impact consumer evaluation behavior. To test the model, a two-wave longitudinal survey was conducted among 462 valid samples in China and analyzed using a multi-method approach, including partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). PLS-SEM findings reveal that consumers' VA evaluations (continuance and word-of-mouth intentions) are primarily influenced by individuals' emotional and functional attachments toward VAs. These attachments, in turn, are determined by social attributes (interactivity, natural speech, and design aesthetics) and technical attributes (accuracy, connectivity, and personalization). Furthermore, the results indicate that social and technology anxiety play a moderating role in the relationship between VA attributes and attachments. The fsQCA analysis supports the PLS-SEM findings and identifies three configuration paths for high continuance intention and three configuration paths for positive word-of-mouth intention toward VAs. These findings provide novel insights into both theory and practice.

EEG-Based Evaluation of Aesthetic Experience Using BiLSTM Network

Evaluation of aesthetic design fulfills a pivotal function in product development, which urges for an efficacious objective method to measure customers’ experience. The stability and effectiveness of electroencephalography (EEG) make it a suitable tool for aesthetic experience measurement. Nevertheless, existing studies have several limitations, especially regarding the stimuli and the algorithm. The potential of an EEG-based deep learning model has not been verified in pinpointing subtle differences in physical product aesthetics. To fill the research gap in this issue, we recorded EEG signals in real-life scenarios when participants were presented with different types of physical smartphones, and asked participants to rate them from four dimensions of aesthetic experience (arousal, valence, likeness, and aesthetic evaluation). Then, the time–frequency data were fed into a spatial feature extraction network and an attention-based bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) optimized by the cross-entropy loss function. The result showed that at 16s window size, the four outcome models yielded the best joint recognition performance of aesthetic experience with an average accuracy of over 85% (arousal: 88.10%, valence: 87.97%, likeness: 85.99%, and aesthetic evaluation: 87.23%). It provides an objective cross-subject recognition method with multi-faceted evaluation results of aesthetic experience. Additionally, we verified the ability of EEG as a reliable and informative resource in terms of aesthetic experience evaluation, even with subtle differences. More practically, a future direction of incorporating EEG signals into subjective product aesthetics measurement could be given more credit.
