The Art Genome Project is the search technology behind Artsy. The Art Genome Project's search technology is the product of an ongoing art-historical study—undertaken by a team of contributors with art-historical backgrounds at Artsy—seeking to define the characteristics which distinguish and connect works of art, architecture, ancient artifacts and design.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Art Genome Project - Artsy )〕 Its primary aim is to provide Artsy users dynamic search categories and explain similarities among art and artists. Currently, there are 1000+ “genes” (i.e. attributes of art) in the project’s taxonomy, including art-historical movements, subject matter, and formal qualities.〔https://www.artsy.net/about/collecting〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interview: Matthew Israel on The Art Genome Project )〕 These genes are the product of Artsy’s team and their engagement with (and feedback from) the museums, galleries, curators, critics and art historians present on Artsy’s platform. There are two general parts of the project: 1) Conceiving and defining such characteristics, referred to as “genes,” and 2) Applying these genes to artists and artworks—creating “genomes” for both—for the artsy.net 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Artsy - Discover, Research, and Collect the World's Best Art Online )〕 site. Importantly, unlike tags, which are binary, genes are applied with values ranging from 0 to 100.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Art.sy's 'Genome' Predicts What Paintings You Will Like - WIRED )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Art Genome Project )〕 The value indicates the degree of relevance of a gene to an artist or work of art. While not seen by users, such gene values account for the strength of a relationship between artists and artworks. It also enables similarity to be expressed in a more nuanced way〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About - Artsy )〕 than it might be with just tags because one can weigh various attributes of an artist or work of art to establish which might be the most or less important. Furthermore, such nuance allows for matching potential collectors with artworks based on their tastes and preferences.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Art.sy's 'Genome' Predicts What Paintings You Will Like - WIRED )〕〔Hamilton, Anita. "Works for Me: A Recommendation Engine Takes On Fine Art." Time Magazine (June 4, 2012), 56-57.〕 Artsy’s “genes” create various opportunities for discovering and learning about the artist and artworks. If users search for an artist, they can see “related” artists and if they search for an artwork, they can see “related” artworks. Genes (with definitions) also appear on their own pages and provide the backbone for Artsy’s Browse page. The Art Genome Project provides metadata for search (and similarity) results based on the principles of information retrieval (TF/IDF) and presents results in a UX-driven search product. Matthew Israel, an art historian, is the Director of The Art Genome Project.〔http://matthewisraelprojects.tumblr.com/〕 == Precedents for The Art Genome Project == The Art Genome Project has often been compared to Pandora's Music Genome Project, and was originally developed in consultation with Pandora’s Joe Kennedy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Two Years In Coming, Art.sy Finally Brings Pandora’s Genome Project To The Wacky World Of Art )〕〔http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/09/arts/design/artsy-is-mapping-the-world-of-art-on-the-web.html?pagewanted=1〕 Both aim to create comprehensive (though by no means exhaustive) analyses of types of art by identifying a set of criteria, which both call “genes”. These are both broadly applicable to their respective art forms, as well as useful for generating interesting connections for users. Importantly, while The Art Genome is currently one extensive list of genes for all works of art, Pandora has separate genomes (lists of genes) for each genre of music.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Art Genome Project's Roots - The Art Genome Project - Artsy )〕 The Music Genome Project and TAGP are examples of Big Data, which is a sector of algorithmic technology that synthesizes data to predict what users will prefer. Artsy’s genome is user facing, allowing users to navigate genes manually.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Retooling history )〕 Netflix also makes customized recommendations to users based on the qualities of the movies that they enjoy. Amazon Art makes suggestions to users based on their browsing and purchasing history. Museums and galleries as well as other online art image databases, such as Google Art Project and Artstor, digitize artworks for public access, but beyond providing basic metadata (artist, title, date, medium) these databases do not extensively classify works of art or create connections between them. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Art Genome Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
