Researchers have developed Visual-Semantic Affect Graphs (VSAG), a novel graph-based framework for recognizing emotions in artworks. This approach models artworks by representing interpretable feature nodes, such as color, brushstroke, and semantic associations, to predict dominant emotions. The VSAG framework, particularly its hierarchical valence-arousal variant, demonstrated superior performance compared to direct inference from vision-language models like Qwen3-VL and InternVL3.5 on the EmoArt-5k dataset, suggesting that explicit visual-semantic structure enhances both prediction and interpretation in art emotion recognition.
