Motivation

Bringing together research interests from AI, Cognitive Science, Psychology, the Arts and Philosophy, Computational Creativity is an emerging field which aims to build models of creativity and implement these in order to produce intelligent systems which go beyond current limitations. The application of such systems has traditionally been in areas such as Arts and Design, where creativity is commonplace, but they have also shown great potential for areas such as scientific discovery. With this workshop, we intend to bring together the community of researchers working towards Computational Creativity and related areas (Arts and Computation, Psychology of Creativity, Philosophy of Creativity, etc.). We aim to provide the opportunity to promote the presentation and discussion of ongoing work in the area, which will encourage cross-fertilization between various current approaches. These include the study of cognitive and computational models for creativity, the employment of current AI techniques to the development of creative systems, and the application of Computational Creativity techniques to AI problems.

Topics

The workshop will be of major interest for researchers who aim to:

  1. Study creativity and its relationship with AI

  2. Develop formal approaches to analyse, characterize and evaluate creativity in general

  3. Seek to improve traditional AI methods by building in creative behaviour

  4. Develop computational models of creativity

  5. Model aspects that characterize or relate to creativity, such as

  • Surprise, Intention, Metaphor, Conceptual Blending, Aesthetics, Insight
