Computational Creativity:The Urgently Developing Virgin Territory of Artificial Intelligence
As a sub-field of artificial intelligence,computational creativity is developing rapidly and achieving fruitful results in the West.However,there are not only many specific research bases,topics,contents,technologies and methods still in the early stage,but also its subject nature,purpose,task,direction and development strategy are waiting to be further discussed.Our research in this field is almost blank.It is urgent to make full use of the advantages of culture of big country to catch up and surpass on the basis of examining the historical process and main achievements of computational crea-tivity.To do so,it is imperative to engage in creative discussions about it and its controversial definition,direction choices and foundational questions in AI and philosophy.In order to solve the bottleneck problem in the development of computational creativity research,we should not only pay attention to the upgrading of hardware and software technology and the breakthrough in the development of real-time algorithm embedded with creativity,but also strengthen the research on creativity itself,so as to truly understand the generation conditions,internal mechanism and deep nature of the creativity to be modeled.
