A Creative Computing Based Inspiration Assistant to Poem Generation

This paper presents a process of poem generation for users who need creative inspiration. Rather than enumerating existing poems, users are able to discover possible creative changes of existing poems, and then develop their own poems through our App. Creativity can re-shape the way that people look at things, which has already been studied in many disciplines. When collaborating with most widely used facility, computers, as a joining force of innovation, can be formed by researching creative computing. In order to explain how computers can enhance human creativity, a general framework of creative computing has been proposed. For the purpose of evaluating creative computing in practice, this paper proposes a creative approach to inspiring users and a supplemental poem modification case will be presented to show how knowledge combination can contribute and help the inspiration process in the form of software development. In order to achieve this purpose, the intrinsic motivation and external stimulation for creativity from psychology will be abstracted to a word linking algorithm in the proposed research and the semantic web techniques will be used to make software understand the context of input. Then a feedback loop will be constructed to make software adaption.
