The apprentice framework: planning and assessing creativity

Abstract

In this paper we introduce and discuss the apprentice framework, which we speculate can be used to plan and evaluate computational creativity projects. The framework defines a sequence of phases a system must follow in order to reach a level of creativity acceptable to a set of human judges. It also establishes four aspects of a creative piece susceptible of creative work. We mention some examples from different artistic disciplines. Our work focuses on establishing an environment as well as a team of people and machines to foster, study and monitor the emergence of creativity.
