Computational Creativity

Over the last few decades, computational creativity has attracted an increasing number of researchers from both arts and science backgrounds, from academia and industry.  Philosophers, cognitive psychologists, computer scientists and artists have all contributed to and enriched this area of research.  

Many argue a machine is creative if it simulates or replicates human creativity (e.g. evaluation of AI systems via a Turing-style test), while others have conceived of computational creativity as an inherently different discipline, where computer-generated (art)work should not be judged on the same terms, i.e. as being necessarily producible by a human artist, or having similar attributes, etc.

 

This symposium aims at bringing together researchers to discuss recent technical and philosophical developments in the field, and the impact of this research on the future of our relationship with computers and the way we perceive them: at the individual level where we interact with the machines, the social level where we interact with each other via computers, or even with machines interacting with each other.

 

This is a one-day workshop which will be held at AISB 2020, at St Mary’s University, Twickenham in London, UK, from 6 – 9 April 2020.  

*New this year* we shall have two types of submissions for the symposium: a call for full papers, and a call for demos of creative software for a Show-and-Tell session within the symposium.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Novel systems and theories in computational creativity, in any domain, e.g. drawing and painting, music, storytelling, poetry, games

• The evaluation of computational creative systems, processes and artifacts

• Theory of computational aesthetics

• Representational issues in creativity, including visual and perceptual representations

• Social aspects of computational creativity, and intellectual property issues

• Creative autonomy and constraint

• Computational appreciation of artifacts, including human artwork

On the day of the symposium we will have a combination of paper presentations and a Show-and-Tell-style demo session of creative systems. You are invited to submit either a full research paper for a paper presentation (up to 8 pages), or an extended abstract for a slot in the Show-and-Tell session (up to 2 pages) focusing on demoing your creative system's functionality. You are welcome to submit to both tracks. We encourage the submission of work in progress as well as more mature work.

Authors of accepted papers will be expected to give 30 minute presentations, including 5 to 10 minutes for questions, on the day of the symposium. Authors of accepted demo abstracts will be expected to participate in the Show and Tell session, demoing their creative system and allowing time for questions. 

We are considering the publication of a selection of extended and re-reviewed papers from the symposium in a journal special issue. More details will follow!

Hi all, 

I would like to highlight that this year we have added a Show-and-tell Demo session at this symposium. Although paper submissions must be original and not submitted elsewhere, demo abstracts submitted to this part of the CC@AISB call can be about systems reported in papers submitted/published elsewhere, e.g. ICCC.

I highly recommend the AISB as an event - participating in the CC symposium will give you a chance to not only to have the benefits of having more in depth conversation with some other CC enthusiasts, but also to connect with many researchers from other fields of AI. -Anna

Hi all, 

We would like to send this reminder of the CFP for the AISB 2020 symposium on Computational Creativity, in London, UK. 

This year we have a call for papers and a call for demos for a Show and Tell session during the symposium. The deadline is 10th January 2020. 

We look forward to receiving your submissions!
