Özet

Visual aesthetics assessment models often focus on general crowd preferences, thereby overlooking individual and subjective tastes. This study investigates how a generic aesthetic model can be aligned with personal preferences using limited user data and proposes a framework based on Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). Due to the instabilities and "scale blindness"caused by absolute scoring systems, the problem was reformulated into a pairwise preference structure, and the DPO algorithm was integrated into a CLIP-based model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method reduced the test loss from 0.6931 to 0.5140 and increased the pairwise accuracy from 60% to 78.33%. These findings confirm that fine-tuning with DPO provides accurate personal aesthetic alignment compared to generic models.
