Abstract

In this paper we propose a new method for identifying creativity that is based on analyzing a corpus of chat conversations on the same topic and extracting the new ideas expressed by participants. The application is a first step in supporting creativity in online group discussions by highlighting the novel concepts present in conversations (new ideas) and also by identifying topics that could have become important, if not forgotten during the debates (lost ideas).
