Abstract:What makes an image creative? Although this may seem like a highly subjective decision, research in psychology suggests that creativity may be based on a set of fundamental creativity dimensions such as novelty, surprise, and arousal. A deeper understanding of image creativity can benefit both research and practical applications. Exploring how human viewers use creativity dimensions to evaluate image creativity may allow us to predict a target image's human-rated creativity automatically. We present a novel framework to estimate the perceived creativity of an image by: (1) predicting the strengths of an image's novelty, surprise, and arousal creativity dimensions, and (2) combining the creativity dimension strengths to estimate an image creativity score. Controlled human-subject experiments were conducted on Amazon Mechanical Turk to collect data to train supervised machine learning models to estimate an image's strengths on the three creativity dimensions. A final machine learning model takes the predicted dimension strengths as input to produce an estimated image creativity score. Results showed that our estimated creativity scores are statistically equivalent to human ratings of creativity for the images we tested. The novel contributions of our research are: (1) identification and validation of three psychological creativity dimensions used to estimate image creativity; (2) supervised machine learning models to automatically estimate novelty, surprise, and arousal strengths for an input image; (3) a supervised machine learning model to predict a creativity score from novelty, surprise, and arousal strengths for an input image, and (4) experimental methods to confirm the accuracy, advantages, and limitations of our approach.
