We present an interactive computational approach to fill curatorial gaps between artworks in a fine arts exhibition. We describe the algorithmic details of our semantic
approach based on word embedding of keywords and how we include additional curatorial constraints. We present an installation at a museum exhibition and discuss lessons learned during our arts based research.

Dear Delegates,<br>  

On behalf of the organizing committee at UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management and Elsevier, I have the greatest pleasure to welcome you to the **6th World Research Summit for Tourism and Hospitality: Resilience, Adaptability, and Innovation.**<br>  

Though we cannot host you this year owing to Covid-19 at our beautiful resort-like campus in Orlando, Florida, we believe this virtual and live-streamed conference will provide an interactive, dynamic, and shared international platform for global academics and practitioners to discuss how to enhance research applications and knowledge management through resilience, adaptability, digital intelligence, innovation, and smart knowledge in bringing our industry and research back to normal. This summit particularly offers unique opportunities to unfold and embrace various repercussions of COVID-19 pandemic with various stakeholders, including academic researchers, industry professionals, and government officials, through dialogues on how to better utilize research outputs for the benefits of the industry, in a resilient, intelligent and innovative way.<br>    

I hope you will agree that we have put together a wonderful program including keynote speeches, panel discussions, concurrent presentations, poster sessions, and best paper recognition and award ceremony. We hope you will take advantage of these activities and engage yourself with great learning and sharing opportunities during the two days of the Summit. Thank you for joining us and we look forward to our discussions!<br>  

Sincerely,                                                  
Dr. Youcheng Wang<br>
Dean and Preeminent Chair Professor<br>

Computational creativity is an interdisciplinary endeavor that is located at the intersection of the fields of artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, philosophy, social sciences and the arts. The goal of computational creativity is to model, simulate or replicate creativity using a computer, to achieve one of several ends:

* to construct a program or computer capable of showing some level of creativity
* to better understand human creativity and to formulate an algorithmic perspective on creative behavior in humans
* to design programs that can enhance human creativity without necessarily being creative themselves

<br>The ICCC conference series organized by the [**Association for Computational Creativity**](https://computationalcreativity.net/) since 2010 is the only scientific conference that focuses on computational creativity alone and also covers all aspects of it.



To access the Twelfth International Conference on Computational Creativity, ICCC’21, you need to register for the conference.  Instructions on how to access the event will be provided directly to attendees and included on the Twelfth International Conference on Computational Creativity, ICCC’21 conference website.

ML Design for Creative Pursuits

A chatbot is perceived as more humanlike and likeable if it includes some jokes in its output. But most existing joke generators were not designed to be integrated into chatbots. This paper presents Witscript, a novel joke generation system that can improvise original, contextually relevant jokes, such as humorous responses during a conversation. The system is based on joke writing algorithms created by an expert comedy writer. Witscript employs well-known tools of natural language processing to extract keywords from a topic sentence and, using wordplay, to link those keywords and related words to create a punch line. Then a pretrained neural network language model that has been fine-tuned on a dataset of TV show monologue jokes is used to complete the joke response by filling the gap between the topic sentence and the punch line. A method of internal scoring filters out jokes that don't meet a preset standard of quality. Human evaluators judged Witscript's responses to input sentences to be jokes more than 40% of the time. This is evidence that Witscript represents an important next step toward giving a chatbot a humanlike sense of humor.

Witscript: A System for Generating Improvised Jokes in a
Conversation

We explore a masked-language model based on BERT for shifting the meaning of text towards a target theme.
Content words in the original text are masked and the model provides a list of filling candidates, out of which one is selected based on its similarity to the theme and constraints regarding morphology and metre.
Experimentation is performed with Portuguese song lyrics and trade-offs between grammaticality, semantics, form, and novelty are analysed.
We confirm that BERT is a useful tool for creative text transformation.

Exploring a Masked Language Model for Creative TextTransformation

MuSyFI is a system that tries to model an inspirational computational creative process. It uses images as source of inspiration and begins by implementing a possible translation between visual and musical features. Three different musical artifacts are generated: an automatic version, a co-created version, and a genetic version. The automatic version maps features from the image into musical features nondeterministically; the co-created version adds harmony lines manually composed by us to the automatic version; finally, the genetic version applies a genetic algorithm to a mixed population of automatic and co-created artifacts. In this Demo, we present the three different versions for four of the six evaluated images in our surveys

MuSyFI - Music Synthesis From Images

SOVIA, an interactive system that endows Claude Monet’s art with responsive auditory experiences. SOVIA uses computer vision trained on Monet’s artwork to take the user ``into the painting.'' When the user interacts with a digital version of Monet's landscapes, their mouse positions are mapped to sounds that artistically represent the objects that the user is currently exploring in the art. These interactive musical journeys have the potential to make classical art more captivating for modern audiences.

SOVIA: Sonification of Visual Interactive Art

In this short paper, we reflect on the long quest for intelligence and creativity of computing machinery as well as the suitability for prevailing machine learning techniques to be used in creative tasks. We believe that modularization and multi-layered structures are among essential ingredients constituting creative minds and may greatly benefit machines on handling creative tasks. For proof of concept, we select musical composition, particularly, Species Counterpoint, as the task, adopt a recently proposed computational framework designed for investigating creativity and the creative process, and present an implementation capable of producing the outcomes that exhibit the desired effect.

In the Name of Creativity: En Route to Inspiring Machines

We present a proof-of-concept prototype aimed at providing a subjectivity touch to the production of creative artifacts. The underlying idea is to have a system in which the development of the artifact occurs concurrently with the dynamic formation of a personal identity, thus enriching the overall perception of creativity.
