Abstract(in English) In this study, we propose a method for predicting the probability distribution of aesthetic impression scores considering individual differences in impression evaluations using a deep neural network. We adopted neural style features, which potentially have relationships with visual impressions as explanatory variables. Then, we constructed a convolutional neural network (CNN) that estimated the probability distribution of impression scores based on product images. Next, we visualized attention maps that represented image areas that contribute to impression scores by using Grad-CAM. We also conducted an impression evaluation experiment to relate individual impression scores to the image areas that each participant considered important. Finally, we confirmed the similarity among the image areas by comparing the attention maps and the experimental results.
