Abstract

Novelty, surprise and transformation of the domain have each been raised – alone or in combination – as accompa- niments to value in the determination of creativity. Spir- ited debate has surrounded the role of each factor and their relationships to each other. This paper suggests a way by which these three notions can be compared and contrasted within a single conceptual framework, by describing each as a kind of unexpectedness. Using this framing we argue that current computational mod- els of novelty, concerned primarily with the originality of an artefact, are insufficiently broad to capture creativ- ity, and that other kinds of expectation – whatever the terminology used to refer to them – should also be con- sidered. We develop a typology of expectations relevant to computational creativity evaluation and, through it describe a series of situations where expectations would be essential to the characterisation of creativity.
