Paper explores how generative models can be made more creative.
Much work has been done in understanding human creativity and defining measures to evaluate creativity. This is necessary mainly for the reason of having an objective and automatic way of quantifying creative artifacts. In this work, we propose a regression-based learning framework which takes into account quantitative…
Machine learning models predict which ideas will be innovated based on subjective perspectives.

Diffusion models improve creativity by smoothing the score function, leading to interpolated data.
The common view that our creativity is what makes us uniquely human suggests that incorporating research on human creativity into generative deep learning techniques might be a fruitful avenue for making their outputs more compelling and human-like. Using an original synthesis of Deep Dream-based convolutional neural n…
Paper proposes a new ML framework to enhance creativity in music generation.
We present a system for identifying conceptual shifts between visual categories, which will form the basis for a co-creative drawing system to help users draw more creative sketches. The system recognizes human sketches and matches them to structurally similar sketches from categories to which they do not belong. This …
In online display advertising, selecting the most effective ad creative (ad image) for each impression is a crucial task for DSPs (Demand-Side Platforms) to fulfill their goals (click-through rate, number of conversions, revenue, and brand improvement). As widely recognized in the marketing literature, the effect of ad…
Theory explains creativity in diffusion models generating novel images.
This paper presents a computational model for conceptual shifts, based on a novelty metric applied to a vector representation generated through deep learning. This model is integrated into a co-creative design system, which enables a partnership between an AI agent and a human designer interacting through a sketching c…
Top-H decoding improves text generation by balancing creativity and coherence.
We explore the intersection of human and machine creativity by generating sculptural objects through machine learning. This research raises questions about both the technical details of automatic art generation and the interaction between AI and people, as both artists and the audience of art. We introduce two algorith…
We show that world trade network datasets contain empirical evidence that the dynamics of innovation in the world economy follows indeed the concept of creative destruction, as proposed by J.A. Schumpeter more than half a century ago. National economies can be viewed as complex, evolving systems, driven by a stream of …
Study copyright's impact on creative industries using AI-generated fonts.
Designing a logo for a new brand is a lengthy and tedious back-and-forth process between a designer and a client. In this paper we explore to what extent machine learning can solve the creative task of the designer. For this, we build a dataset -- LLD -- of 600k+ logos crawled from the world wide web. Training Generati…
Diffusion models can memorize training data, limiting their creativity and privacy.
In order to generate novel 3D shapes with machine learning, one must allow for interpolation. The typical approach for incorporating this creative process is to interpolate in a learned latent space so as to avoid the problem of generating unrealistic instances by exploiting the model's learned structure. The process o…
New method reduces memorization in diffusion models without sacrificing image quality.
Firms implementing digital advertising campaigns face a complex problem in determining the right match between their advertising creatives and target audiences. Typical solutions to the problem have leveraged non-experimental methods, or used "split-testing" strategies that have not explicitly addressed the complexitie…
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has emerged as a powerful control technique in robotic science. In contrast to control theory, DRL is more robust in the thorough exploration of the environment. This capability of DRL generates more human-like behaviour and intelligence when applied to the robots. To explore this capa…
Can an algorithm create original and compelling fashion designs to serve as an inspirational assistant? To help answer this question, we design and investigate different image generation models associated with different loss functions to boost creativity in fashion generation. The dimensions of our explorations include…
One of the defining characteristics of human creativity is the ability to make conceptual leaps, creating something surprising from typical knowledge. In comparison, deep neural networks often struggle to handle cases outside of their training data, which is especially problematic for problems with limited training dat…
AI enhances financial services but humans are irreplaceable for empathy, presence, and ethics.
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNS) are now widely used on sequence generation tasks due to their ability to learn long-range dependencies and to generate sequences of arbitrary length. However, their left-to-right generation procedure only allows a limited control from a potential user which makes them unsuitable for int…
Paper proves impossible for large language models to control hallucinations without sacrificing other properties.
This paper demonstrates how Dropout can be used in Generative Adversarial Networks to generate multiple different outputs to one input. This method is thought as an alternative to latent space exploration, especially if constraints in the input should be preserved, like in A-to-B translation tasks.
We propose a new low-cost machine-learning-based methodology which assists designers in reducing the gap between the problem and the solution in the design process. Our work applies reinforcement learning (RL) to find the optimal task-oriented design solution through the construction of the design action for each task.…
Boost-and-Skip generates minority samples without guidance, faster and more effectively.
The purpose of the paper is two-fold: to introduce a multivariable creative telescoping method, and to apply it in a problem of Quantum Topology: namely the computation of the non-commutative -polynomial of twist knots. Our multivariable creative telescoping method allows us to compute linear recursions for sums of …
Shallow Art presents, implements, and tests the use of simple single-output classification and regression models for the purpose of art generation. Various machine learning algorithms are trained on collections of computer generated images, artworks from Vincent van Gogh, and artworks from Rembrandt van Rijn. These mod…
Coding theory is a central discipline underpinning wireline and wireless modems that are the workhorses of the information age. Progress in coding theory is largely driven by individual human ingenuity with sporadic breakthroughs over the past century. In this paper we study whether it is possible to automate the disco…
This paper explores deep learning in music generation, from history to current techniques.
Recently, with convolutional neural networks gaining significant achievements in many challenging machine learning fields, hand-crafted neural networks no longer satisfy our requirements as designing a network will cost a lot, and automatically generating architectures has attracted increasingly more attention and focu…
Existing approaches for automatically generating mathematical word problems are deprived of customizability and creativity due to the inherent nature of template-based mechanisms they employ.

Exploiting this we have …
Mathematical framework using Riemannian geometry for intelligence and consciousness.
A computational model for the distribution of wealth among the members of an ideal society is presented. It is determined that a realistic distribution of wealth depends upon two mechanisms: an asymmetric flux of wealth in trading transactions that advantages the poorer of the two traders and a non-stationary creation …

Interactive weak supervision learns useful heuristics from user feedback.
The availability of large idea repositories (e.g., the U.S. patent database) could significantly accelerate innovation and discovery by providing people with inspiration from solutions to analogous problems. However, finding useful analogies in these large, messy, real-world repositories remains a persistent challenge …

Humor is a unique and creative communicative behavior displayed during social interactions. It is produced in a multimodal manner, through the usage of words (text), gestures (vision) and prosodic cues (acoustic). Understanding humor from these three modalities falls within boundaries of multimodal language; a recent r…
