Multimodal Cultural Heritage Architectural Style Classification for Residential Buildings in the UAE Based on CLIP Embeddings and SVM

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 15, 2026 · UTC

The analysis and classification of cultural heritage architectural styles remain challenging due to the complexity of visual images of buildings, which are highly relied on in traditional CNN-based classification approaches in comparison to textual descriptions, and the relative lack of non-western region-specific datasets. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a multimodal machine learning framework to analyze and classify Emirati residential architecture using OpenAI's CLIP model. We integrate visual features from images and textual features from expert descriptions into a unified 512-d
