How Creative is Your Writing? A Linguistic Creativity Measure from Computer Science and Cognitive Psychology Perspectives

چکیده
We demonstrate that subjective creativity in sentence-writing can in part be predicted using computable quantities studied in Computer Science and Cognitive Psychology. We introduce a task in which a writer is asked to compose a sentence given a keyword. The sentence is then assigned a subjective creativity score by human judges. We build a linear regression model which, given the keyword and the sentence, predicts the creativity score. The model employs features on statistical language models from a large corpus, psychological word norms, and WordNet.

متن کاملNeural correlates of creative writing: an fMRI study.
Cerebral activations involved in actual writing of a new story and the associated correlates with creative performance are still unexplored. To investigate the different aspects of the creative writing process, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging while 28 healthy participants performed a new paradigm related to creative writing: "brainstorming" (planning a story) and "creative writing...
متن کاملReview of An Interaction: Creativity, Cognition and Knowledge, Terry Dartnall (Ed.); Praeger, London, 2002, 337 pages
In common parlance, creativity is understood as an extraordinary ability, with which only few are gifted. However, the book ‘An Interaction: Creativity, Cognition and Knowledge’ emphasizes the idea that creativity can be better understood as common cognitive phenomena. It poses a challenge to our understanding of the knowledge and performance of our cognitive systems. Drawing on the theoretical...
متن کاملEffects of Task Complexity Increase on Computer-Mediated L2 Writing and Temporal Distribution of Cognitive and Metacognitive Processes
This study examined the effects of cognitive task complexity increase on the complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) as well as the temporal distribution of the cognitive and metacognitive processes involved in computer-mediated L2 written production. To this end, the study employed a between-subjects experimental design with 85 EFL learners from a language learning institute in Iran. Participa...
