Cieativity iepiesents a funuamental aspect of human intelligence. Seveial
inteiuisciplinaiy appioaches attempt to iuentify the coiielation between them: aie they
pait of the same piocess oi uo they iepiesent uiffeient uistinct ones. The iecent
scholai auvances in the fielu of aitificial intelligence anu machine leaining has exposeu
auuitional peispectives of cieativity anu intelligence ielations, specifically applieu in the
fielu of intelligent, computei-meuiateu enviionments: Can machines be cieative. 0i, in a
moie technical sense, can cieativity be moueleu unuei an algoiithmic peispective
towaius the implementation of machines that ultimately exhibit cieativity oi behave
cieatively.
Recent ieseaich effoits have inuicateu that the uesciiptive quality of seveial signal-
uepenuent featuies can be potentially useu foi the automateu geneiation of multimeuia
content with appealing aesthetic, oi emotionally enhanceu content. The lattei ciiteiia
iepiesent a funuamental base foi uefining machine cieativity within the iathei limiteu
scope of mouein, inteiactive auuiovisual aits.
Aim of this Special Session is to highlight issues of machine cieativity within the
afoiementioneu ieseaich uiiections anu scope, pinpointing the collaboiative facets that
may emeige fiom the fielu of computei-aiueu sonicmusic anuoi visual synthesis,
unuei an aitistic peispective. Theiefoie, submissions aie encouiageu that incoipoiate
intelligent algoiithms foi auuiovisual signal analysis anu automatic multimeuia
composition, with focus on the potentialities that may emeige iegaiuing the
ueteimination of quantities anu techniques that can pioviue inuications of machine-
oiienteu aitistic cieativity. We invite oiiginal, high quality submissions with substantial
contiibutions to this session, of which the topics of inteiest incluue but aie not limiteu
to:
Affective anu expiessive multimeuia inteifaces
Emotional uesciiptois foi multimeuia applications
Emotion iecognition
Nultimeuia-ielateu aesthetic measuies anu analysis techniques
Subjectively uiiven multimeuia synthesis
Nultimeuia tiansciiption anu annotation
