Experiments with a Creativity-Support System based on Perceptual Similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metaphors based on perceptual similarity are considered to be one of the hallmarks of creativity. We propose here an image-based retrieval system for generating pairs of perceptually similar images. A number of examples of images paired by the system are presented and discussed. Often, these images are conceptually very different, and hence can serve as anchors for perceptual metaphors that create new conceptual similarities.

The Adaptation of English Initial Clusters by Persian Learners
This study presents an overview of the different strategies that Persian learners of English employ to deal with initial clusters. While vowel epenthesis appears to be the most widespread repair strategy to conform such clusters to Persian phonotactics, the location of the epenthetic vowel varies. In this paper, we investigate two approaches that seek to explain the epenthetic site. The first o...

We believe that current research in creativity (especially in artificial intelligence and to a great extent psychology) focuses too much on the product and on exceptional (big-C) creativity. In this paper we want to argue that creative thinking and creative behavior result from the continuation of typical human cognitive development and that by looking into the early stages of this development,...

متن کاملSimilarity and Difference Judgments Under Perceptual and Non-Perceptual Conditions
It has recently been suggested that knowledge is represented in the form of perceptual symbol systems (Barsalou, 1999). According to this view, perceptual states may be used to support higher cognitive processes without being transduced into a representational language. Since the ability to recognize difference and similarity is fundamental for cognition, we examined to what extent it might be ...
