Abstract

Creativity ratings by humans for the alternate uses task (AUT) tend to be subjective and inefficient. To automate the scoring process of the AUT, previous literature suggested using semantic distance from non-contextual models. In this paper, we extend this line of research by including contextual semantic models and more importantly, exploring the feasibility of predicting creativity ratings with supervised discriminative machine learning models. Based on a newly collected dataset, our results show that supervised models can successfully classify between creative and non-creative responses even with unbalanced data, and can generalise well to out-of-domain unseen prompts.
