Multimodal Cultural Heritage Architectural Style Classification for Residential Buildings in the UAE Based on CLIP Embeddings and SVM
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-dimensional embedding, followed by dimensionality reduction with UMAP for visualization and unsupervised clustering using K-Means. Cluster labels, which are derived from manual analysis of the K-Means clusters, are used to train an SVM classifier for automated architectural style classification. Our approach achieves a classification accuracy of 98% across eight identified style clusters, higher than every other study in the literature, demonstrating the effectiveness of combining visual and textual modalities. Overall, this paper highlights the potential of using multimodal AI to support architectural heritage analysis, offering scalable and interpretable tools for exploring regional architectural identities.
