The Association of Computational Creativity are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Professor Robert M. Keller, who passed away on September 13th 2020.<\/p>\n
Bob gave so much to the computational creativity community, as a good friend and mentor to many and a strong supporter of our conference series (ICCC). Bob was a regular participant in our conferences ever since they started back in 2010, as well as in workshops prior to the conference series. He always had something to contribute with papers, demos, posters and conversations, and was always available to review.<\/p>\n
He was also a great person. It was always wonderful to hear what he’d been up to and to have the pleasure of his intelligent and entertaining company. We loved to see him with his wife Noel, who joined us for many social events.<\/p>\n
Bob worked on the Impro-Visor system for many years, and this work was of huge significance in computational creativity research.<\/p>\n
