Question 1

Creativity

Answer 1

A fundamental feature of human intelligence, and a challenge for AI. It is grounded in everyday capacities, e.g. association of ideas, reminding, etc. It involves a cognitive dimension (generation of new ideas) but also motivation and emotion, and is closely linked to cultural context and personality factors

Question 2

Creative idea

Answer 2

One which is novel, surprising, and valuable

Question 3

Novel

Answer 3

Two importantly different senses; (1) The idea may be novel with respect only to the individual concerned (P-creativity) or, (2) so far as we know, to the whole of previous history (H-creativity)

Question 4

H-creativity

Answer 4

A special case

Question 5

P-creativity

Answer 5

More fundamental notion. AI should concentrate primarily on P-creativity
If it manages to model this in a powerful manner, artificial H-creativity will occur in some cases

Question 6

Transformational creativity

Answer 6

The more fundamental the dimension concerned, and the more powerful the transformation, the more surprising the new ideas will be

Question 7

Context-sensitive

Answer 7

New analogies and perceptions develop together

Question 8

Analogical mapping

Answer 8

A domain-general process which must be analytically distinguished from conceptual representation

Question 9

Memory access

Answer 9

Occurs when one is reminded of an (absent) analog. It depends on psychological processes and kinds of similarity different from those involved in mapping between two analogs that are presented simultaneously

Question 10

AARON

Answer 10

The best-known example of AI-creativity. It is a program/series of programs for exploring line-drawing in particular styles. It explores a space defined with the help of rich domain-expertise. The drawings are individually unpredictable because of random choices but they all have the same style
