Manufacturing Magic and Computational Creativity

چکیده
This paper describes techniques in computational creativity, blending mathematical modeling and psychological insight, to generate new magic tricks. The details of an explicit computational framework capable of creating new magic tricks are summarized, and evaluated against a range of contemporary theories about what constitutes a creative system. To allow further development of the proposed system we situate this approach to the generation of magic in the wider context of other areas of application in computational creativity in performance arts. We show how approaches in these domains could be incorporated to enhance future magic generation systems, and critically review possible future applications of such magic generating computers.

Computational Social Creativity
This article reviews the development of computational models of creativity where social interactions are central. We refer to this area as computational social creativity. Its context is described, including the broader study of creativity, the computational modeling of other social phenomena, and computational models of individual creativity. Computational modeling has been applied to a number...
متن کاملHow Insight Emerges in a Distributed, Content-addressable Memory
We begin this chapter with the bold claim that it provides a neuroscientific explanation of the magic of creativity. Creativity presents a formidable challenge for neuroscience. Neuroscience generally involves studying what happens in the brain when someone engages in a task that involves responding to a stimulus, or retrieving information from memory and using it the right way, or at the right...
متن کاملCo-creativity and perceptions of computational agents in co-creativity
How are computers typically perceived in co-creativity scenarios? And how does this affect how we evaluate computational creativity research systems that use cocreativity? Recent research within computational creativity considers how to attribute creativity to computational agents within co-creative scenarios. Human evaluation forms a key part of such attribution or evaluation of creative contr...
متن کاملFour PPPPerspectives on computational creativity in theory and in practice
Computational creativity is the modelling, simulating or replicating of creativity computationally. In examining and learning from these “creative systems”, from what perspective should the creativity of a system be considered? Are we interested in the creativity of the system’s output? Or of its creative processes? Features of the system?Or how it operates within its environment? Traditionally...
متن کاملThe Creative Computer as Romantic Hero? or, What Kind of Creative Personae do Computational Creativity Systems Exemplify?
A popular definition of computational creativity is that it consists in behaviour that would be regarded as creative if performed by humans. This raises the question of which humans, as there are many different styles of human creative behaviour. This paper unpacks a number of ways in which human artistic creativity can be characterised, compares them with the kinds of creative actions found in...
