Task 2 - M&M

Question 1

Keyword: Computational creativity

• What is it?
• What is the goal?

Answer 1

• creativity research
• exploring the potential of our machines to be creative in their own right
• goal: work that humans also perceive as creative
• can yield insight into fundamental capabilities of humans and machines; also tests scientific theories of creativity

Question 2

Keyword: Problem Space Search

Answer 2

• steps of solving the problem

- search space: space within problem where all possibilities lie within

Question 3

Keyword: Optimization

Answer 3

best solution without any specific effort/ with least amount of training
-e.g. simulated annealing

Question 4

Keyword: System’s view

Answer 4

Creativity 4.0

Question 5

Keyword: Default network

Answer 5

active when no externally presented cognitive Tasks

• for self-assessment, aesthetic evaluation
• -> idea generation
• -> active when you look at aesthetic art you like

Question 6

Keyword: Simulated annealing

Answer 6

• technique

- estimating best technique to find global optimum for state

Question 7

When is smth creative?

Answer 7

-smth that is both novel and useful

Question 8

What is creativity?

Answer 8

1. novelty and usefulness
2. we reject ideas we had previously accepted
3. results from intense motivation and persistence
4. comes from clarifying a problem that was vague

Question 9

Which neural networks are involved in creativity?

Answer 9

• cooperation of default and control network
• default network: when no cognitively tasks; idea generation
• control network: associated with cognitive tasks (e.g. WM, task switching); idea evaluation

Question 10

What does the extent of control network involvement depend on?

Answer 10

Depends on extent to which creative thought is constrained to meet specific task goals

Question 11

When is there less cooperation of the two neural networks?

Answer 11

Less cooperation when no clear task goal or when top-down constraints are relaxed

Question 12

How does creativity arise according to CC?

Answer 12

C arises when an intelligent agent knowingly exploits or subverts conventional pathways

Question 13

What is exploratory creativity?

Answer 13

looking for previously undiscovered or unappreciated states of unexpectedly high value

Question 14

What is transformational creativity?

Answer 14

actively transforms the space

Question 15

What is historical creativity?

Answer 15

both new to humans and history

Question 16

What is psychological creativity?

Answer 16

only new to person

Question 17

What is the superhuman- human- fallacy?

Answer 17

We think AI failed creativity because it cannot model human creativity/ human intelligence (but that is actually not the goal…)

Question 18

What is generative art?

Answer 18

Computer generates art all by itself

Question 19

What is evolutionary art?

Answer 19

Novel result that humans could not predict (e.g. move of Alpha Go)

Question 20

What is interactive art?

Answer 20

Outside events that influence the result
