• Abstract summary: The goal of this paper is to revitalize discussions of potential connections between the fields of Computational Creativity (CC) and Artificial Life (ALife) The primary goal of CC is to endow artificial systems with creativity, and ALife has dedicated much research effort into studying and synthesizing OE and artificial innovation. Despite the close proximity of these concepts, their use so far remains confined to their respective communities, and their relationship is largely unclear.

• Abstract: Artificial Life (ALife) as an interdisciplinary field draws inspiration and influence from a variety of perspectives. Scientific progress crucially depends, then, on concerted efforts to invite cross-disciplinary dialogue. The goal of this paper is to revitalize discussions of potential connections between the fields of Computational Creativity (CC) and ALife, focusing specifically on the concept of Open-Endedness (OE); the primary goal of CC is to endow artificial systems with creativity, and ALife has dedicated much research effort into studying and synthesizing OE and artificial innovation. However, despite the close proximity of these concepts, their use so far remains confined to their respective communities, and their relationship is largely unclear. We provide historical context for research in both domains, and review the limited work connecting research on creativity and OE explicitly. We then highlight specific questions to be considered, with the eventual goals of (i) decreasing conceptual ambiguity by highlighting similarities and differences between the concepts of OE and creativity, (ii) identifying synergy effects of a research agenda that encompasses both concepts, and (iii) establishing a dialogue between ALife and CC research.

• Diffusion-Based Visual Art Creation: A Survey and New Perspectives [51.522935314070416]
  This survey explores the emerging realm of diffusion-based visual art creation, examining its development from both artistic and technical perspectives. Our findings reveal how artistic requirements are transformed into technical challenges and highlight the design and application of diffusion-based methods within visual art creation. We aim to shed light on the mechanisms through which AI systems emulate and possibly, enhance human capacities in artistic perception and creativity.

  Zero-shot image recognition (ZSIR) aims at empowering models to recognize and reason in unseen domains. This paper presents a broad review of recent advances in element-wise ZSIR. We first attempt to integrate the three basic ZSIR tasks of object recognition, compositional recognition, and foundation model-based open-world recognition into a unified element-wise perspective.
