Computational Creativity: The Philosophy and Engineering of Autonomously Creative Systems

Computational creativity is an emerging field of research within AI that focuses on the capacity of machines to both generate and evaluate novel outputs that would, if produced by a human, be considered creative. This new discipline would benefit from a canonical text from which new researchers and students could absorb the philosophy of the field and learn its methods, and this book aims to be such a canonical text.

The proposed edited volume will be both a state-of-the-art survey and canonical reference book on a relatively new and emerging field. Though not a text book it will serve as an introductory text for researchers and students, and offer sufficient depth for existing researchers in AI.
