1st International JointWorkshop on Computational Creativity Francisco C. Pereira Pablo Gervás Simon Colton
Computational Creativity • Geraint Wiggins: • “Support, study and simulation via computational means of behaviours which would be deemed creative if exhibited by a human” (CC04 invited talk)
Influences • A field of many diverse opinions • Naturally a very emotive topic • Cross-disciplinary: • Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy, Psychology, Linguistics, … • Application domains: • Music, visual arts, bioinformatics, mathematics, figurative language, design, games, humour, …
Computer Models • Building and analysis of • Computational models • Actual implementations which work • Emphasis on artefact generation • Rather than problem solving • Do we “solve” the problem of writing a poem or a sonata? • Emphasis on aesthetics • Only one of which is problem solving utility
History of Workshops • AISB’99 convention on Creativity • Gave the field much momentum • Symposia in AISB 2000 – 2003 • Slight emphasis on frameworks, models, etc. • Workshops in: • ICCBR’01, ECAI’02 and IJCAI’03 • Slight emphasis on implementations
Computational Creativity 04 (CC04) • First joint workshop • Bringing it all together • 10 (11) talks and 1 invited talk by Geraint Wiggins • From Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Iceland, Iran (nearly)… • Short plenary session • Aiming to secure a special issue of a journal • Many researchers in computational creativity • Use the case based reasoning paradigm • ICCBR’01 and ECCBR’04 were good ideas • Ultimate aim is to become an independent conference • Possibly in 2005, definitely in 2006 • Please consider joining us
Please Read our Proceedings! • 17 submissions • 11 accepted, 6 rejected • Framework papers • Philosophical abduction • Evolutionary roots of creativity • Role of gatekeepers in design communities • Explorative and transformative creativity • Application papers • Discovering analogical compounds • Interpreting noun-noun constructions • Audio design using conceptual blending
Thanks To • Our programme committee • The authors of submitted papers • Both accepted and rejected • ECCBR’04 organisers
