A meta-analysis of 62 experimental and 10 non-experimental studies was conducted to evaluate the positive-mood-enhances-creativity generalization.

We are motivated by the recent application of computational creativity in the culinary domain. Given the increasing commercial importance of data-driven computation, we explore and provide unified framework in three new domains to which computational creativity can be applied and yield business value. The three domains are travel, fashion, and science. Reflecting on the framework characterizati...

In contrast, computational creativity research involves the development and evaluation of creativity in a computational system. As we study the effect of scaling up from the creativity of a computational system and individual people to large numbers of ...
