The recognition-based approach reported here is novel in that it expands documents in a fashion analogous to query expansion: Individual documents are expanded using N-best lists which embody additional statistical information from a hidden Markov model (HMM) based handwriting recognizer used to transcribe each of the handwritten documents. This additional information enables the retrieval methods to be robust to machine transcription errors, retrieving documents which otherwise would be unretrievable. Cross-writer experiments on a database of 10985 words in 108 documents from 108 writers, and within-writer experiments in a probabilistic framework, on a database of 537724 words in 3342 documents from 43 writers, indicate that significant improvements in retrieval performance can be achieved. The second database is the largest database of on-line handwritten documents known to its.

Broadly, creativity involves a generative step to produce many ideas and a selective step to determine the ones that are the best. Many previous attempts at computational creativity, however, have not been able to achieve a valid selective step. This work shows how bringing data sources from the creative domain and from hedonic psychophysics together with big data analytics techniques can overcome this shortcoming to yield a system that can produce novel and high-quality creative artifacts. Our data-driven approach is demonstrated through a computational creativity system for culinary recipes and menus we developed and deployed, which can operate either autonomously or semi-autonomously with human interaction. We also comment on the volume, velocity, variety, and veracity of data in computational creativity.

We demonstrate the importance and inevitability of such collaboration along with challenges in its proper realization through several real-life examples taken from different business domains.
