ART (Adaptive Resonance Theory [1]) neural network and its variations perform non-hierarchical clustering by unsupervised learning. We propose a scheme "arboART" for hierarchical clustering by using several ART1.5-SSS networks. It classifies multidimensional vectors as a cluster tree, and finds features of clusters. The Basic idea of arboART is to use the prototype formed in an ART network as an input to other ART network that has looser distance criteria (Ishihara, et al., [2,3]). By sending prototype vectors made by ART to one after another, many small categories are combined into larger and more generalized categories. We can draw a dendrogram using classification records of sample and categories. We have confirmed its ability using standard test data commonly used in pattern recognition community. The clustering result is better than traditional computing methods, on separation of outliers, smaller error (diameter) of clusters and causes no chaining. This methodology is applied to Kansei evaluation experiment data analysis.

Form-ratio means the ratio of height/Width/Depth in 3-dimensions. The golden ratio or golden section is included as one of the form-ratio. We conducted two kinds of kansei experiments of cubic model and refrigerator varied from 1:1:1 to 1:1:3.66 on the scale of x:y:z. The subjects evaluate the form-ratios of 3-dimensional cubes and virtual products with SD-scale Kansei words(feelings and images). We applied the factor analysis to identify semantic space in cube model and virtual products. Finally, we compared with kansei structure of cube model and virtual product.

This paper described the developed website usability evaluation system in terms of Kansei engineering using neural network. Developed system simultaneously operates with the MS Internet Explorer by entering the target URL for usability evaluation, and the results are learned using neural network. We firstly derived the Kansei adjectives and website usability factors and they were matched by the correspondence analysis. Then, highly corresponded adjectives were implemented on the system for the Kansei evaluation. Finally, the results showed the appropriate efficiency of developed algorithm and system for the website evaluation. If more subjects were used for the system learning, the efficiency of system could be improved.

In this research, a design of mobile web magazine based on Kansei engineering is studied. Following the procedure of Kansei engineering, we executed user survey to discover latent emotion elements in mobile web magazine, which were 'attractive', 'open', and 'unique'. Corresponding design elements were found to be slide design, text layout, and proportion of image. The methodology of universal design was adopted to improves on those design elements so that the proposed design can be applicable to wide range of users. We could verify the potential of the proposed design method through expert interviews on the developed prototype mobile web magazine.

When people are asked to described certain textiles, they frequently refer to the expressions of its properties such as attractiveness, uniqueness, shininess, robustness, comfortability, and so on. It shows how senses play important role in it. Human employs their senses when interacting with textiles, most notably visual and tactile/ haptic to absorb its expressive properties. Yet, our sensorial experiences may amplify when interacting with those of traditional textiles, such as batik, as we can entice sensations when seeing its motifs and patterns, smelling its materials, and touching its surfaces. The multi-sensorial importance of seeing, smelling, and touching in the interaction with and experience of textiles suggests that one should address senses in a systematic way when evaluating users' perception on traditional textiles. To address this issue, the paper proposes the incorporation of Kansei Engineering (KE) approach for identifying multi-sensorial experiences on the expressive properties of traditional textiles, using batik as a case of study. KE approach address person's psychological understanding when observing things in order to analyze and study the inherent relationship between person's perceptual knowledge and objects evaluated. This paper outlines the use of KE approach in correlating sensorial perceptions when experience with traditional textiles and ultimately expose users' preferences toward them. Background of KE approach on textiles will be explored and its application for the multi-sensorial investigation of traditional textiles will be discussed.

The word "cyber-space" was coined through the developments in communication technology and computers. It became possible to experience disembodied space in practice through a new kind of medium. this research aims to clarify the kansei stimulation elements as realistic sensed by users who use 3-dimensional expressions in cyber-space. The research was carried out by preparing 25 samples of computer graphics, and administering 3 questionnaires to 12 examinees. The Principal Ingredient Analysis method was used for its analysis and assessment. As a result of this research, it can be concluded that materials, reflection and shadow have the strongest effect on human beings' senses in cyber-space.
