CreativeAI-17: Creative Assistants: Augmenting Creativity using Machine Learning Canada, August 14, 2017 |
Conference website | https://creativeai.mybluemix.net/ |
Submission deadline | May 26, 2017 |
All of us must have dreamt of having our own JARVIS which can help us write poetry, paint a mural, compose a melody, choreograph a dance or even write a research paper for this workshop!! It is true that Machine Learning has not only solved challenging problems in areas of speech, vision, natural language, etc. but also hit headlines by winning against humans in grand challenges like Jeopardy, Go and more recently Poker. Yet one of the elusive goals of artificial intelligence remains human-level creativity. Creativity is well-pervasive across multiple domains like art, dance, music, literature, gaming, movie, fashion, recipe and even sciences. Achievement of human-level creativity will thus have far-reaching consequences, impacting a wide spectrum of industries and communities. All attempts to emulate creativity artificially fall under the umbrella of an emerging field called computational creativity.
The goal of this workshop is to generate interest among the machine learning and data science community in this upcoming field by concentrating on applications of machine learning targeted towards creative domains. Technologies which can creatively assist humans is the main theme of this workshop. Creative assistants will lead to better content generation through deeper human-computer collaboration and may help us explore creativity from a totally different, unseen angle. This workshop creates a common forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and decide on the future roadmap of this field.
Submission Guidelines
We solicit submission of papers of papers of 4 to 10 pages representing reports of original research, preliminary research results, case studies, proposals for new work and position papers. We also seek poster submissions based on recently published work (please indicate the conference published).
All papers will be peer reviewed, single blind (i.e. author names and affiliations should be listed). If accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the workshop to present the work. The submitted papers must be written in English and formatted in the double column standard according to the ACM Proceedings Template, Tighter Alternate style. The papers should be in PDF format and submitted via the EasyChair submission site. The workshop website will archive the published papers.
