Knowledge discovery and computational creativity have until lately been investigated by two separate research communities. However, research in bisociative, cross-context knowledge discovery has recently started addressing creative tasks, including creative literature mining. This paper contributes to this effort by investigating an approach to cross-context link discovery based on banded matri...

We introduce a system for generating novel recipes and use that context to examine some current theoretical ideas for computational creativity. Specifically, we have found that the notion of a single inspiring set can be generalized into two separate sets used for generation and evaluation, respectively, with the result being greater novelty as well as system flexibility (and the potential for ...

Mapping spaces in fiction seems like a simple idea. But in fact, it turns out to be a major interdisciplinary challenge at the crossroads of literary theory and cartographic concepts for more than one hundred years. Introduced and contextualised is the emerging field of a literary geography along with one of its core methods: literary cartography. After facing a certain period of stagnation, wh...

Writers are often viewed as having an inherent style which can serve as a literary fingerprint. By quantifying relevant features related to literary style, one may hope to classify written works and even attribute authorship to newly discovered texts. Beyond its intrinsic interest, the study of literary styles presents the opportunity to introduce and motivate many standard multivariate statist...

The existence of creativity support tools establishes creativity as part of the Computer Science research. Therefore, the development of computational methods for the enhancement of creativity is undoubtedly a challenge. In this paper we argue that adding context awareness in creativity support tools will enhance the creativity process. This belief is based on the evaluation of a number of the ...

Computational creativity is the modelling, simulating or replicating of creativity computationally. In examining and learning from these “creative systems”, from what perspective should the creativity of a system be considered? Are we interested in the creativity of the system’s output? Or of its creative processes? Features of the system?Or how it operates within its environment? Traditionally...

This paper considers a fragment of V.S. Vysotsky’s worldview through which his attitude to creativity is seen the prism poetically gifted character. A step-by-step method with artistic concept creation as main methodological tool was used for analysis. The content above identified on basis following lyrics: “My bride will truly sob me” (‘Za menya nevesta otrydaet chestno’, “The seventh string” ...

We present CoocViewer, a graphical analysis tool for the purpose of quantitative literary analysis, and demonstrate its use on a corpus of crime novels. The tool displays words, their significant co-occurrences, and contains a new visualization for significant concordances. Contexts of words and co-occurrences can be displayed. After reviewing previous research and current challenges in the new...

Exegesis that includes careful attention to internal matters-theme and development, structure, and features of literary style--can help resolve perennial problems of interpretation. One such difficulty involves the unity and authorship of the book of Nahum. Conclusions reached from the shared contributions of biblical and literary data argue strongly for the unity of the whole prophecy that bea...
