Understanding and Strengthening the Computational Creativity Community: A Report From The Computational Creativity Task Force

The field of computational creativity is rightfully home to a great diversity of perspectives and disciplines. As members of such a diverse community we need to pay special attention to how we can sustain a common identity, and how we communicate, support, and evaluate our work. Here, we introduce the first report from the Computational Creativity Task Force, which was established to support the collective advancement of the computational creativity research community. As a first step towards that goal, we present an exploration of who we are as a community: the authors and program committee members of the International Conference on Computational Creativity. We welcome a discussion of both this data and the mission of the task force going forwards.
