contents Museums are important sites for the dissemination of culture and art. They are institutions rooted in history and tradition; their exhibitions are often designed to highlight these aspects. Recently, a new approach is being explored in the field: emotion-based exhibitions. These exhibitions are designed specifically to elicit emotions in the visitors, in order to maximize engagement, and as a way to democratize access to art and attract a wider, more diverse audience. To do so, the emotional content of the artworks must first be extracted, however, manually annotating the artworks by experts is a prohibitively labor-intensive process, and risks introducing the personal bias of curators. To assist the museum curators in their design of these exhibitions, we wish to develop a tool that can predict the emotional response evoked by a work of art. In this article, we leverage a continuous bi-dimensional emotion space to enhance emotion representations and the training process of deep learning models. Drawing inspiration from existing categorical and dimensional emotion representations, we introduce a new representation, Dimensional Distribution Emotion State (DDES), along with a pipeline for multi-dataset training. We show that DDES provides multiple advantages compared to widely used representations while exhibiting similar baseline performance.
