In human-human collaboration, gesture, verbal communications, and emotional responses are among the communication strategies that shape the interactions between collaborators to negotiate the contributions. Emotional feedback allows human collaborators to passively communicate their stance about the experience and convey their perception of the process without distracting the flow of the task. In human-human co-creative collaboration, participants inter-act and contribute to the task based on their perception of the collaboration over time.  In human-AI co-creativity, perceiving the cognitive and emotional state of the user in order to determine the dynamics of collaboration and decide what the agent should contribute to the artifact are two primary challenges of building effective co-creative Artificial Intelligence systems. This paper addresses these challenges with the design of a co-creative agent that can sense the user’s emotional state through facial expression.

Computational creativity is the art, science, philosophy and engineering of computational systems which, by taking on particular responsibilities, exhibit behaviours that unbiased observers would deem to be creative. As a field of research, this area is thriving, with progress in formalising what it means for software to be creative, along with many exciting and valuable applications of creative software in the sciences, the arts, literature, gaming and elsewhere.

The ICCC conference series organized by the Association for Computational Creativity since 2010 is the only scientific conference that focuses on computational creativity alone and also covers all aspects of it.
