• Abstract: This paper presents a new computational model of creative outcomes, informed by creativity theories and techniques, which was implemented to generate more novel opportunities for innovation projects. The model implemented five functions that were developed to contribute to the generation of innovation opportunities with higher novelty without loss of usefulness. The model was evaluated using opportunities generated for an innovation project in the hospitality sector. The evaluation revealed that the computational model generated outcomes that were more novel and/or useful than outcomes from Notebook LM and ChatGPT4o. However, not all model functions contributed to the generation of more novel opportunities, leading to new directions for further model development

  Development of generative Machine Learning models in creative practices is raising more interest among artists, practitioners and performers. Most models are still unable to generate content that lay outside of the domain defined by the training dataset. We propose an alternative prospective framework, starting from a new general formulation of ML objectives.

  In data-rich domains such as vision, language, and speech, deep learning prevails to deliver high-performance task-specific models. Deep learning in resource-limited domains still faces multiple challenges including (i) limited data, (ii) constrained model development cost, and (iii) lack of adequate pre-trained models for effective finetuning. Model reprogramming enables resource-efficient cross-domain machine learning by repurposing a well-developed pre-trained model from a source domain to solve tasks in a target domain without model finetuning.
