Introduction
Computational creativity and human creativity are fields modelled with different processes, and evaluated with different methods. To bridge this interdisciplinary divide, we need to: disseminate and refine existing computational methods for modelling cognitive processes, aim to implement more cognitive processes in computational creativity systems, and set benchmarks of comparative evaluation between cognitive human and computational systems.
Various computational methods might lend themselves better to modelling cognitive processes - for example semantic networks might help model associativity processes, case base reasoning might help model cognitive structured representations which admit variations, etc.
Furthermore, various (a) computational models of cognitive process or (b) systems aiming at replicating cognitive process results do exist: e.g. for analogy, metaphor, concept blending and concept invention, insight etc. Also, various systems exist that can perform well in human creativity tests, like the Remote Associates Test and the Alternative Uses Test. Other such computational cognitive systems show new possibilities in the improving control over current experimental design.
In this workshop we will discuss existing computational methods, systems and models, focusing on questions like the following:
- what computational methods are more suitable for implementing computational models of creativity and problem solving, and computational systems supporting creativity and problem solving
- what types of support can natural cognitive systems benefit from when performing creative problem solving and other creative acts
- what kind of computational support has been offered so far, what kind of computational support can be offered with the existing techniques and approaches
- to what extent computational methods must get closer to simulating or modeling cognitive process to make cognitive support possible
