Preface: Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Computational Creativity, ICCC 2017, Atlanta — 19 - 23 June
Full text linkSome aspects of analogical reasoning in mathematical creativity
Full text linkAnalogical reasoning can shed light on both of the two key processes of creativity – generation and evaluation. Hence, it is a powerful tool for creativity. We illustrate this with three historical case studies of creative mathematical conjectures which were either found or evaluated via analogies. We conclude by describing our ongoing efforts to build computational realisations of these ideas
On the Notion of Creative Personhood
Full text linkWe study here the notion of creative personhood and what it is like to be in the presence of a creative individual. We suggest ideas for what creative personhood means in human society and propose how this may help to develop generative AI systems. Situating the study in the philosophy of computational creativity, we address notions of agency, self-expression, individuality and responsible behaviours associated with human creativity. We apply this analysis to an initial consideration of the ChatGPT generative text system, in terms of its potential to exhibit elements of creative personhood

Repositioning the graphic designer as researcher
Full text linkIn academic terms, the discipline of graphic design is relatively young. Consequently the position of the discipline within academic territory, and the role of the designer, continue to be debated. In part, these debates have been a product of attempts to define and defend the discipline’s borders from within, in order to establish a sense of the role of graphic design and the graphic designer as commensurate with other disciplines both within and beyond art and design. In recent years graphic designers have variously been defined as ‘authors’, ‘producers’ and ‘readers’, yet none of these definitions seem to have provided any kind of productive or lasting impact within the academy. This paper suggests that rather than continue to seek territorial definitions and positions from within, it could be more productive to look beyond the confines of the discipline. Gaining a broader, interdisciplinary perspective on, and understanding of, qualitative research methods from other disciplines may enable the graphic designer to more fully position his or her practice within the wider academy. Such a perspective could help facilitate the repositioning and redefinition of the graphic designer as ‘researcher’ - a move that would be productive in relation to the future development of postgraduate research within the discipline
