================================================ 2ND Call for Papers: ***EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE February 1st, 2018*** Special Session on "Computational Intelligence for Music, Art, and Creativity" http://cilab.cs.ccu.edu.tw/ci-tf/CIMAC2018.html <http://cilab.cs.ccu.edu.tw/ci-tf/CIMAC2018.html> 2018 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI 2018) 08-13 July 2018, Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL http://www.ieee-wcci.org/ <http://www.ieee-wcci.org/> ================================================ AIM AND SCOPE: Computational intelligence (CI) techniques, including evolutionary computation, neural networks, and fuzzy systems, have shown to be effective for search, optimization, and machine learning problems. Recently, evolutionary computation and deep neural networks gained several promising results and become important tools in computational creativity, such as in music, visual art, literature, architecture, and industrial design. The aim of this special session is to reflect the most recent advances of CI for Music, Art, and Creativity, with the goal to enhance autonomous creative systems as well as human creativity. This session will allow researchers to share experiences and present their new ways for taking advantage of CI techniques in computational creativity. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, CI technologies in the following aspects: - Generation of music, visual art, literature, architecture, and industrial design - Algorithmic design in creative intelligence - Application of CI to music analysis, classification/clustering, composition, variation and improvisation - Optimization in creativity - Development of hardware and software for creative systems - Evaluation methodologies - Assistance of human creativity - Computational aesthetics - Emotion response - Human-machine creativity IMPORTANT DATES: ***Extended*** Paper submission deadline: *1 Feb, 2018* Acceptance notification: 15 Mar, 2018 Final paper submission: 01 May, 2018 PAPER SUBMISSION: * Information on the format and templates for papers can be found at WCCI 2018 website * Papers should be submitted via the IEEE CEC 2018 paper submission site at http://ieee-cis.org/conferences/cec2018/upload.php <http://ieee-cis.org/conferences/cec2018/upload.php> * Select [CDSS-07.
