Computational Creativity

The definition of creativity proposed by Marget Boden says it is the ability to come up with ideas or artifacts that are new, surprising, and valuable. And so far some of the current systems in artificial intelligence can satisfy this simplified description. To understand this process more deeply, the science community introduced three types of creativity. It is an unfamiliar connections of already existed ideas. This process can be compared to averaging over the training samples, and generating something new(orange dot) which still falls into the space that examples cover(green dotted line).
