------------------------------------------------

Computational Creativity (CC) is a discipline with its roots in scientific disciplines such as Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Engineering, Design, Psychology and Philosophy that each explores the potential for computers to be creative – either in partnership with humans or as autonomous creators in their own right.

The International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC) is an annual conference that welcomes papers on different aspects of CC, on systems that exhibit varying degrees of creative autonomy, on systems that act as creative partners for human creators, on frameworks that offer greater clarity or computational felicity for thinking about machine (and human) creativity, on methodologies for building or evaluating CC systems, on approaches to teaching CC in schools and universities or to promoting societal uptake of CC as a field and as a technology, and so on.

*** Themes and Topics ***

The ICCC call for short papers invites research on the same topics as the main call. See Full Papers for more information.

In summary, new papers reflecting all computational approaches and perspectives on creativity are welcome, including e.g., symbolic approaches, neural and statistical approaches, hybrid approaches, big-data approaches, rule-based approaches, curated approaches, and so on. The onus is on authors to argue and/or explicitly demonstrate the relevance of their work to the topic of computational creativity.

A note on generative AI models: while the study of generative AI models is both welcomed and encouraged, such models and their application must be properly situated in the CC literature and evaluated according to acceptable practices in the field. Papers that fail to do this are unlikely to be reviewed favorably.

Difference between long and short papers: Short papers are intended to share new directions and ideas, spark debate, and enrich the conference and program, without the same evaluation and rigor requirements of long papers. They are not merely long papers with fewer pages. To this end, different review criteria will be applied to long and short papers.

*** Paper Types ***

Short papers offer concise treatments of work and ideas that are better suited to this concentrated format. We anticipate submissions in the short paper category along any or all of the following lines:

— Debate Sparks

— System Demonstrations
— CC Translations
— Nuggets and Gems
— Late Breaking Results
— CC Bridges
— Pilot Studies
— Grand Challenges
— Meta-Perspectives
— Field and event reports

*** Important Dates ***

Submissions due: April 21, 2025
Acceptance notification: May 7, 2025
Camera-ready copies due: May 14, 2025
Conference: June 23–27, 2025
