Computational Creativity: The Philosophy and Engineering of Autonomously Creative Systems

PUBLISHER Springer (08/07/2019)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)

Description

Computational creativity is an emerging field of research within AI that focuses on the capacity of machines to both generate and evaluate novel outputs that would, if produced by a human, be considered creative. This book is intended to be a canonical text for this new discipline, through which researchers and students can absorb the philosophy of the field and learn its methods. After a comprehensive introduction to the idea of systematizing creativity the contributions address topics such as autonomous intentionality, conceptual blending, literature mining, computational design, models of novelty, evaluating progress in related research, computer-supported human creativity and human-supported computer creativity, common-sense knowledge, and models of social creativity.

Products of this research will have real consequences for the worlds of entertainment, culture, science, education, design, and art, in addition to artificial intelligence, and the book will be of value to practitioners and students in all these domains.

Editor: Veale, Tony
Dr. Tony Veale is a Computer Scientist at University College Dublin, Ireland, where his research focuses on the computational modeling of creative linguistic phenomena, including metaphor, blending, simile, analogy and verbal irony. He leads the European Commission s PROSECCO network (PROSECCO-network.eu and @PROSECCOnetwork), an international coordination action that aims to promote the scientific exploration of Computational Creativity. Veale is particularly interested in the generative creativity of metaphor, and builds generative models of metaphor, simile and blending which are made publicly available as reusable Web services to promote the integration of figurative language processing capabilities in third-party applications. He is the author of the 2012 monograph on computational linguistic creativity titled Exploding the Creativity Myth: The Computational Foundations of Linguistic Creativity from Bloomsbury press, and creator of the metaphor-generating Twitterbot @MetaphorMagnet. Veale is also the founder of the educational Web-site RobotComix.com, which promotes the philosophy and practice of Computational Creativity to the general public via online tutorials and free textbooks such as Hand-Made By Machines? An Illustrated Guide to Creativity in Humans and Machines.
