This paper proposes a new method to assess the diversity of images generated by co-creative systems. The authors argue that existing approaches have limitations, such as requiring ground-truth knowledge or being impractical to compute. They introduce an alternative based on entropy of neural network encodings, which is easy to calculate and does not require prior knowledge. The method is tested on two pre-trained networks, showing how the choice affects the notion of diversity evaluated. This has implications for ideation in interactive systems, model evaluation, and broader applications within computational creativity.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This paper helps us understand how to measure the variety of images made by computers that work with people. Right now, there’s no clear way to do this. The authors suggest a new method that is easy to use and doesn’t need prior information about what the computer should be generating. They test their idea on two types of networks and show how it can help us understand diversity better. This has big implications for making ideas in interactive systems, evaluating models, and more.
