Goldsmiths Department of Computing is taking a lead role in the 5th International Conference on Computational Creativity, 10-13 June 2014 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Computational Creativity is the art, science, philosophy and engineering of computational systems which, by taking on particular responsibilities, exhibit behaviours that unbiased observers would deem to be creative.
As a field of research, this area is thriving, with progress in formalising what it means for software to be creative, along with many exciting and valuable applications of creative software in the sciences, the arts, literature, gaming and elsewhere.
Two papers that offer an overview of computational creativity
- Simon Colton and Geraint A. Wiggins: Computational Creativity: A Final Frontier?. Proceedings of ECAI, 2012.
- Amilcar Cardoso, Tony Veale, and Geraint A. Wiggins: Converging on the Divergent: The History (and Future) of the International Joint Workshops in Computational Creativity. AI Magazine, 30(3):15-22, 2009.
