Title: Computational Creativity

  • Participants: Włodzisław Duch, Maciej Pilichowski
  • Dates: 2005 - present
  • Goals: Develop computational approach to creativity.


    Motivation and general info:
    Creativity is one of the least understood human faculties.
    Understand it at the neurocognitive level, do something creative computationally.
    Initiate an interdisciplinary program with neuropsychology, neuroscience and neurocognitive informatics.
    Focus on language.

    Some talks are here; papers are linked below and more papers are here.

    Our BrainGene (Mambo) server invents new names for products! Unfortunately it has been closed after MAciej has left to work for a company without submitting final version of his PhD. This is a common problem with computer science people.
