Creativity and AI: A Conceptual Blending Approach

Authors

Abstract

The main motivating factor behind this book is the appealing, yet
often controversial, goal of computational modelling of
creativity. A cross-disciplinary study of creativity is a
mandatory first step and this will help us construct a synthesis
from an AI perspective. From this, we focus on a Model of Concept
Invention and, more practically, on a computational system,
Divago.

The Model of Concept Invention is built over the expected
principles for a creative system. It is formalized, although in a
computationally idealistic manner, i.e. its implied complexity
prevents it from a feasible implementation. Divago is the partial
instantiation of this abstract model and comprises the main
technical substance of the book. This system is centered on an
implementation of the cognitive linguistics framework of
Conceptual Blending, as well as on a mapping algorithm based on
Metaphor work.

Divago was subject to experimentation in a range of applications
and analyzed according to methodologies that have been proposed
with the area of Creativity and AI. Other validation procedures
are followed, namely in the comparison to other works and to
Conceptual Blending literature.
