Knowledge discovery and computational creativity have until lately been investigated by two separate research communities. However, research in bisociative, cross-context knowledge discovery has recently started addressing creative tasks, including creative literature mining. This paper contributes to this effort by investigating an approach to cross-context link discovery based on banded matri...

We introduce a system for generating novel recipes and use that context to examine some current theoretical ideas for computational creativity. Specifically, we have found that the notion of a single inspiring set can be generalized into two separate sets used for generation and evaluation, respectively, with the result being greater novelty as well as system flexibility (and the potential for ...

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 ...

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...

This article investigates how neuroscience in general, and neuroscience of creativity in particular, can be used in teaching "applied creativity" and the usefulness of this approach to creativity training. The article is based on empirical data and our experiences from the Applied NeuroCreativity (ANC) program, taught at business schools in Denmark and Canada. In line with previous studies of s...

Over the years, researchers and educators defined creativity as a step out of the ordinary. However, the definition of creativity has suffered from the lack of consistency, just as creativity measuring methodologies have also suffered from subjective analysis. The aim of this paper is to analyze various creativity measuring methodologies and the underlying theme of creativity with the attempt t...

one of the influential factors totally in whole life is creativity. with respect to great importance of creativity in human activities and functions, exploring the components of this construct becomes a research appeal. therefore, the aim of the present study is investigating the relation of personality characteristics of the mothers with their daughters’ creativity. 360 female high school stud...

A computational system that evaluates creativity needs guidance on what creativity actually is. It is by no means straightforward to provide a computer with a formal definition of creativity; no such definition yet exists and viewpoints in creativity literature vary as to what the key components of creativity are considered to be. This work combines several viewpoints for a more general consens...

Purpose – The purspose of this study is to examine the interplay between job resources (job control and support for creativity from coworkers and supervisors), age and creativity at work. Job control and support for creativity are assumed to benefit idea creativity and to moderate the relationship between age and idea creativity. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 117 nurses completed qu...
