Experiments With Assessment of Creative Systems: An Application of Ritchie’s Criteria

Authors

Abstract

Creativity assessment is an area in demand of research, for creativity is a recent field of study and its principles are not well understood. Ritchie’s Criteria are a recent proposal, consisting of fourteen principles to assess the creativity of computer programs. We have applied those criteria to three different systems: Wasp, a poem generator, Divago, a conceptual blender, and Dupond, a sentence paraphraser. The results are hereby discussed and compared, and the main difficulties of applying this methodology are pointed out.
