I-get: A Creativity Assistance Tool to Generate Perceptual Pictorial Metaphors

Published: 21 October 2015 Publication History

Abstract

We present our ongoing work on a creativity assistance tool called I-get. The tool is based on the hypothesis that perceptual similarity between a pair of images, at a subconscious level, plays a key role in generating creative conceptual associations and metaphorical interpretations. The tool "I-get" is designed to assist users to create novel ideas and metaphorical associations primed by algorithmic perceptual similarity between two images and alternative conceptual associations given by users.
