Just had a meeting with my supervisor where I showed him some ideas I had about exactly what I want my PhD thesis to cover. This set of ideas is the result of some brainstorming I did on the scope of my PhD, focussing on evaluation of creativity.

Originally set up for an academic communications course, this blog contains my reflections on topics relevant to my doctoral study. My DPhil in Informatics looks at how best to evaluate computational creativity systems.
Hi Anna!
ReplyDeleteYour chart looks great.
I'm wondering: do you have a working title? Personally, I find working titles usful as a way to capture the essence of the project I have in hand -- whether being a short paper or my thesis.
Sdra :-)
That's such a good idea - well I was thinking about this yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI guess the short version would be 'Evaluating creativity' and a more 'title-y' version would be:
'Can a computer be creative? A methodology for evaluating creativity'
Doesn't mention music and maybe the second sentence needs to be ... A methodology for evaluating creativity exhibited by computer music generation systems' (or 'computer composers')
hmmm, work in progress. Useful point though, thanks!
