Computational creativity research

By Julio Herrera

Teresa Amabile's 2018 publication, "Computational Creativity: A Review of the Literature," in the Journal of Creative Behavior (Vol. 52, Issue 1, pp. 1-15), provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of computational creativity research.

Amabile's review explores the intersection of creativity, artificial intelligence, and computer science, highlighting the potential of computational models to simulate and enhance human creative processes ¹. She discusses various approaches to computational creativity, including generative models, evolutionary algorithms, and cognitive architectures.

The review also examines the applications of computational creativity in diverse fields, such as art, music, writing, and design. Amabile notes that while computational creativity has made significant progress, there are still challenges to overcome, including the development of more sophisticated models of human creativity and the integration of computational creativity with other disciplines.

Amabile's work provides a valuable framework for understanding the current state of computational creativity research and its potential to advance our understanding of human creativity.
