Computational Creativity is a multidisciplinary field that tries to obtain creative behaviors
from computers. One of its most prolific subfields is that of Music Generation (also called …

This paper presents a theory of the basic operation of mind, Information Dynamics of
Thinking, which is intended for computational implementation and thence empirical testing. It …

We introduce a method for imposing higher-level structure on generated, polyphonic music.
A Convolutional Restricted Boltzmann Machine (C-RBM) as a generative model is combined …

We consider the evolution of cognition and the emergence of creative behaviour, in relation
to vocal communication. We address two key questions:(i) what cognitive and/or social …

We present a novel hypothetical account of entrainment in music and language, in context of
the Information Dynamics of Thinking model, IDyOT. The extended model affords an …

In this Hypothesis and Theory paper, we consider the problem of learning deeply structured
knowledge representations in the absence of predefined ontologies, and in the context of …

We examine the field of algorithmic composition from the perspective of computational
creativity. We begin by introducing the idea of computational creativity as a philosophical …

The most broadly agreed-upon definition of a creative artefact is one that is both novel and
valuable. This chapter argues for measuring novelty as the violation of observers' …

The music of Richard Wagner tends to generate very diverse judgments indicative of the
complex relationship between listeners and the sophisticated musical structures in Wagner's …

Two modest-sized symbolic corpora of post-tonal and post-metrical keyboard music have
been constructed: one algorithmic and the other improvised. Deep learning models of each …
