Aim and Scope
Computational intelligence (CI) techniques, including neural network, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary computation, have shown to be effective for search and optimization problems. Recently, CI gained several promising results and becomes an important tool in Computational Creativity, such as in music, visual art, literature, architecture, and industrial design. The goal is to enhance autonomous creative systems as well as human creativity.
In addition, taking into account emotions (or more generally affects) is currently widely explored to improve the quality of human-machine interaction and to ease the communication with users or potential customers. Affective or emotional computing covers a wide range of issues, challenges and approaches, both for emotion simulation (in particular for new generations of intelligent agents), emotion elicitation, expression and recognition. The latter is declined along several types of modalities and media data, such as physiological signals, facial expressions, speech, text, images and video. Each of these modalities and media raises specific requirements. Thus, affective computing raises new challenges for computational intelligence, regarding e.g. computational representations of emotions and affective states, on the basis of psychological models, the architecture of systems modeling and processing these concepts as well as dedicated machine learning techniques appropriate to deal with the specificity of the related data.
The aim of this Symposium is to reflect the most recent advances of CI in Computational Creativity and Affective Computing. This Symposium will allow researchers to share experiences and present their new ways for taking advantage of CI techniques in Creativity and Affective Computing.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, CI technologies in the following aspects:
- Computational Intelligence for Creativity
- Computational modelling of creativity and creative processes
- Data representations for creative systems
- Algorithmic design in creative intelligence
- Optimisation in creativity
- Development of hardware and software for creative systems
- Evaluation methodologies
- Assistance of human creativity
- Computational aesthetics
- Emotion response
- Human-machine creativity
- Generation of art, including Music, Visual Art, Literature, Architecture and Design, etc.
- Computational Intelligence for Affective Computing
- Theories of emotions from psychology and their application to computer sciences
- Computational models and architecture for processing emotions and other affective states
- Multimodal emotional corpora
- Automatic emotion recognition from physiological signals, facial expressions, body language, speech
- Emotion mining in texts, images, videos, film, multimedia data
- Affective interaction with virtual agents and robots
