Towards Dr Inventor: A Tool for Promoting Scientific Creativity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an analogy-based model to promote creative scientific reasoning among its users. Dr Inventor aims to find novel and potentially useful creative analogies between academic documents, presenting them to users as potential research questions to be explored and investigated. These novel comparisons will thereby drive its users’ creative reasoning. Dr Inventor is aimed at promoting Big-C Creativity and the H-creativity associated with true scientific creativity.

Dr Inventor is a tool that aims to enhance the professional (Pro-c) creativity of researchers by suggesting novel hypotheses, arising from analogies between publications. Dr Inventor processes original research documents using a combination of lexical analysis and cognitive computation to identify novel comparisons that suggest new research hypotheses, with the objective of supporting a novel r...
متن کاملEvaluation of Analogical Inferences Formed from Automatically Generated Representations of Scientific Publications
Humans regularly exploit analogical reasoning to generate potentially novel and useful inferences. We outline the Dr Inventor model that identifies analogies between research publications, describing recent work to evaluate the inferences that are generated by the system. Its inferences, in the form of subjectverb-object triples, can involve arbitrary combinations of source and target informati...
متن کاملCreative Knowledge Environments
As we move towards a more knowledge-intensive society, so the importance of creativity in relation to both the production of knowledge (i.e. ‘research’) and its exploitation (in the form of ‘innovations’) becomes ever more important. The extent to which an individual’s (or a group’s) creative potential is expressed in practice depends considerably on the environment in which that individual (or...
