The ability of humans to quickly identify general concepts from a handful of images has proven difficult to emulate with robots. Recently, a computer architecture was developed that allows robots to mimic some aspects of this human ability…
Large-scale Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized human-AI interaction and achieved significant success in the generation of novel ideas. However, current assessments of idea generation overlook crucial factors such as knowledge…
As networking systems become increasingly complex, achieving disruptive innovation grows more challenging. At the same time, recent progress in Large Language Models (LLMs) has shown strong potential for scientific hypothesis formation and…
Effective ideation requires both broad exploration of diverse ideas and deep evaluation of their potential. Generative AI can support such processes, but current tools typically emphasize either generating many ideas or supporting in-depth…
The creative potential of computers has intrigued researchers for decades. Since the emergence of Generative AI (Gen AI), computer creativity has found many new dimensions and applications. As Gen AI permeates mainstream discourse and…
Design inspiration is crucial for establishing the direction of a design as well as evoking feelings and conveying meanings during the conceptual design process. Many practice designers use text-based searches on platforms like Pinterest to…
Current AI-assisted innovation systems typically apply a single ideation methodology (such as TRIZ or Design Thinking) using sequential prompt-based workflows that do not preserve intermediate reasoning structure. As a result, insights…
Experiments in cognitive science and decision theory show that the ways in which people combine concepts and make decisions cannot be described by classical logic and probability theory. This has serious implications for applied disciplines…
Language models pretrained on text-only corpora often struggle with tasks that require auditory commonsense knowledge. Previous work addresses this problem by augmenting the language model to retrieve knowledge from external audio…
In order to facilitate natural language understanding, the key is to engage commonsense or background knowledge. However, how to engage commonsense effectively in question answering systems is still under exploration in both research…
Inspired by cognitive theories of creativity, this paper introduces a computational model (AIGenC) that lays down the necessary components to enable artificial agents to learn, use and generate transferable representations. Unlike machine…
Semantic services (e.g. Semantic Desktops) are still afflicted by a cold start problem: in the beginning, the user's personal information sphere, i.e. files, mails, bookmarks, etc., is not represented by the system. Information extraction…
Scientific innovation is pivotal for humanity, and harnessing large language models (LLMs) to generate research ideas could transform discovery. However, existing LLMs often produce simplistic and repetitive suggestions due to their limited…
Imagination in world models is crucial for enabling agents to learn long-horizon policy in a sample-efficient manner. Existing recurrent state-space model (RSSM)-based world models depend on single-step statistical inference to capture the…
The rapid evolution of Large Language Models has catalyzed a surge in scientific idea production, yet this leap has not been accompanied by a matching advance in idea evaluation. The fundamental nature of scientific evaluation needs…
Patents contain rich technical knowledge that can inspire innovative product ideas, yet accessing and interpreting this information remains a challenge. This work explores the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and autonomous agents to…
In sponsored search, retrieving synonymous keywords for exact match type is important for accurately targeted advertising. Data-driven deep learning-based method has been proposed to tackle this problem. An apparent disadvantage of this…
The performance of language models is commonly limited by insufficient knowledge and constrained reasoning. Prior approaches such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Chain-of-Thought (CoT) address these issues by incorporating…
Graphic designers often get inspiration through the recombination of references. Our formative study (N=6) reveals that graphic designers focus on conceptual keywords during this process, and want support for discovering the keywords,…
Humans often rely on underlying structural patterns-schemas-to create, whether by writing stories, designing software, or composing music. Schemas help organize ideas and guide exploration, but they are often difficult to discover and…
