Abstract
We adopt a process-centric approach to computational
creativity, based on a model of people’s innate ability to
process analogical comparisons. A three-phase model of
analogical reasoning is adapted to function as an analogy generating machine. It is supplied with two distinct
knowledge-bases containing many domain descriptions,
with the aim of generating novel analogies – potentially
even creative ones. However, because our approach to
computational creativity does not have the usual ”inspiring set”, evaluating its output can not be performed by
comparison to this inspiring set. Our generic approach to
evaluating process-centric computational creativity uses
a number of nonparametric statistical techniques. After
the creative artefacts are generated, human raters assess
these artefacts for the qualities of creativity (quality, novelty etc). We describe the results of two experiments that
were conducted on these two collections of domains. The
analogies generated on the two collections are analysed
and difference in the two result sets are assessed. We argue that true creativity can only be assessed after the creative artefacts are generated. Evaluating creativity only by
reference to the inspiring set runs the risk of overlooking
creative artefacts that differ from the inspiring set - and
may under-estimate a model’s creativity.
