About this book

How would you assemble a machine that can be creative, what would its cogs be? Starting from how humans do creative problem solving, the author has developed a framework to explore whether a diverse set of creative problem-solving tasks can be solved computationally using a unified set of principles. In this book she describes the implementation of related prototype AI systems, and the computational and empirical experiments conducted.

The book will be of interest to researchers, graduate students, and laypeople engaged with ideas in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and creativity.

Reviews

“This book enhances our understanding of the principles of problem solving in the epoch of AI and deserves to be widely read in this age of intelligent machines. The CreaCogs cognitive framework proposed here could be served as an applicable guide for graduate students and researchers in the sphere of Cognitive Science, AI, and Education.” (Zhihui Chen and Ruixing Ye, Science & Education, Vol. 31 (2), April, 2022)
