Abstract
This study proposes an intelligent framework for the automated classification and valuation of ceramic artifacts, integrating deep learning and machine learning techniques. An improved YOLOv11 model was constructed to identify key ceramic attributes such as decorative patterns, shapes, and craftsmanship styles. The model achieved a mean Average Precision (mAP@50) of 70.0% and a recall of 91.0%, demonstrating strong capability in detecting complex visual features. Based on the extracted visual attributes, a Random Forest classifier was employed to predict price categories using multi-source auction data, achieving a test accuracy of 99.52%. Feature importance analysis further revealed manufacturing techniques and shape as key predictors of market value. The integrated framework effectively combines visual feature extraction and market-informed valuation, providing a scalable solution for intelligent ceramic appraisal and digital heritage curation. This approach supports both expert and non-expert applications, laying a foundation for future development of intelligent cultural heritage management systems.
