Computational Creativity for Intelligence Analysis

We describe a decision support system for hypothesis assessment in which exploration is supported by computational creativity. A software tool for morphological hypothesis analysis and evidence handling is extended with a creative assistant that on demand suggests hypotheses that the analyst should consider. Suggested hypotheses are chosen so that they are far from hypotheses that the analyst p...

COINVENT: Towards a Computational Concept Invention Theory

We aim to develop a computationally feasible, cognitivelyinspired, formal model of concept invention, drawing on Fauconnier and Turner’s theory of conceptual blending, and grounding it on a sound mathematical theory of concepts. Conceptual blending, although successfully applied to describing combinational creativity in a varied number of fields, has barely been used at all for implementing cre...

Physical tools for textile creativity and invention

Two textile research projects (one completed and one ongoing) are described, where physical inspirational tools are developed and tested with the aim of stimulating textile creativity and invention, i.e. the use of textile materials in new kinds of products, thus bringing textiles into new contexts. The first research project (completed) concerns how textile designers use new responsive materia...
