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

2018 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI 2018)
08-13 July 2018, Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL

================================================

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
