Computational Creativity Tools for Songwriters
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes two natural language processing systems designed to assist songwriters in obtaining and developing ideas for their craft. Titular is a text synthesis algorithm for automatically generating novel song titles, which lyricists can use to back-form concepts and narrative story arcs. LyriCloud is a word-level language “browser” or “explorer,” which allows users to interactively select words and receive lyrical suggestions in return. Two criteria for creativity tools are also presented along with examples of how they guided the development of these systems, which were used by musicians during an international songwriting contest.

Using Computational Text Analysis Tools to Compare the Lyrics of Suicidal and Non-Suicidal Songwriters
Recent research in cognitive science and psycholinguistics has provided evidence that extreme behaviors such as suicide may be predicted by analyzing an individual’s writing style. This study seeks to extend research of this kind to a new and less traditional written genre: song lyrics. We applied the computational tools Coh-Metrix and Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count to a corpus of 35 songs e...
متن کاملPre‐print: Note That There May Be Small Changes between This Draft and the Final Printed Version. Embodying Digital Creativity: Designing Computer Tools to Support Spontaneity and Creative Work in the Digital Arts
“An essential voice in creatively based thinking is the language of the body...” (Johnston, 1986, p. 21). Depending on your background, claims such as this may seem obvious or surprising, but are they actually true and can they be validated? If true, can we use this insight to design computational tools that better support creativity? These questions drove an extended investigation of how incre...

The existence of creativity support tools establishes creativity as part of the Computer Science research. Therefore, the development of computational methods for the enhancement of creativity is undoubtedly a challenge. In this paper we argue that adding context awareness in creativity support tools will enhance the creativity process. This belief is based on the evaluation of a number of the ...
متن کاملCan Computers Foster Human Users’ Creativity? Theory and Praxis of Mixed- Initiative Co-creativity
This article discusses the impact of artificially intelligent computers to the process of design, play and educational activities. A computational process which has the necessary intelligence and creativity to take a proactive role in such activities can not only support human creativity but also foster it and prompt lateral thinking. The argument is made both from the perspective of human crea...
متن کاملIs it Time for Computational Creativity to Grow Up and start being Irresponsible?
A recent definition of computational creativity has emphasised that computational creativity systems should “take on certain responsibilities” for generating creative behaviour. This paper examines the notion of responsibilities in that definition, and looks at a number of aspects of the creative act and its context that might play a role in that responsibility, with an emphasis on artistic and...
