Symposium on Computational Approaches to Creativity in Science
Center for the Study of Language and Information
Stanford University, March 29-30, 2008
Creativity manifests in several ways during scientific inquiry.
Investigators often need to carry forward the consequences of
established beliefs, to synthesize theory with measurements, to
explain observed phenomena, and to involve themselves in other
knowledge-driven activities. The computational metaphor provides
powerful tools both for understanding the creative process and for
supporting the environment in which it unfolds. This symposium brings
together philosophers, psychologists, computer scientists, and others
to address questions such as
What role does creativity play in different facets of the
scientific enterprise, and how can computational tools help in
each context?
When does background knowledge aid creativity in science and
when does it interfere with the discovery of creative solutions?
When do interactions among scientists increase creativity and
how can computational aids for interaction support this process?
The speakers will report and discuss their findings on scientific
creativity and the potential for computational creativity-support
tools. For more information about the symposium schedule and
presentations, see
http://cll.stanford.edu/symposia/creativity
The symposium will take place on Saturday, March 29, and Sunday, March
30, just after the AAAI Spring Symposia, at Stanford University's
Center for the Study and Language and Information. Attendance will be
by invitation only, but there will be no registration fee. Fifteen
invited speakers will present their research over two days and we will
have space for a number of non-presenting attendees. If you would like
to attend, please send email to
scacs-08 (at) csli.stanford.edu
with a paragraph describing your interest in scientific creativity and
your past work in relevant areas (e.g., reasoning, learning,
discovery) from the perspective of any discipline.

"Building a Safer Web: Web Tripwires and a New Browser Architecture"
Charles Reis
University of Washington
Web content has shifted from simple documents to active programs,
but web protocols and browsers have not evolved adequately to
support them. As a result, safety problems in web sites and web
browsers now regularly make headlines, from browser exploits to
ISPs that modify web pages. In this talk, I will discuss my
research into improving the security and reliability of web
content and browsers.
For most of this talk, I will focus on one particular problem:
the ability for intermediaries to modify web content in-flight.
Our recent measurement study shows that many clients now receive
web pages that have been altered before reaching the browser. The
changes range from injected advertisements to popup blocking code
to malware, often affecting the user's privacy and security. Some
of these changes introduce bugs and even vulnerabilities into the
pages they modify. Most sites are unwilling to switch to SSL for
reasons of cost and performance, so I will show how web servers
can use "web tripwires" to detect in-flight page changes with
inexpensive JavaScript code.
After this, I will talk more broadly about my research on web
browser security, focusing on the deficiencies of today's web as
an application platform. Starting from my prior work on
BrowserShield, I will show how we need a safer architecture for
running programs within the browser. Like an operating system,
this new architecture will need effective mechanisms to define,
isolate, and enforce policies on these web programs.
About the Speaker: Charles Reis is a PhD student in the Department of
Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington,
studying with Steve Gribble and Hank Levy. His current research
focuses on improving the security and reliability of web content and
web browsers. In the past, he has also worked on models of wireless
interference with David Wetherall. Charles received a B.A. and an
M.S. in Computer Science from Rice University, where he worked with
Corky Cartwright and Peter Druschel. At Rice, Charles was the second
lead developer for DrJava, a widely used educational programming
environment.

"Explaining Experience in Nature: The Foundations
of Logic and Apprehension (A New Kind Of Positivism)"
Steven Ericsson-Zenith
Institute for Advanced Science & Engineering
I present the premises of my research program.
In the course of the discussion I shall defend Rudolf Carnap, praise
Charles Sanders Peirce and challenge Alan Turing, arguing finally for
a new kind of positivism; one founded upon a model that meets the
expectations of Carnap's liberal physicalism and is supported by
biophysical evidence.
In his seminal paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence Alan Turing
observed:
"I do not wish to give the impression that I think there is no mystery
about consciousness. There is, for instance, something of a paradox
connected with any attempt to localise it. But I do not think these
mysteries necessarily need to be solved before we can answer the
question with which we are concerned in this paper." Alan
Turing. Computing Machinery and Intelligence. (1950)
This neglect or mystification of manifest qualities is taken further
by contemporary authors Stephen Wolfram and Gregory Chaitin. Wolfram
states a "Principle of Computational Equivalence," a common though
flawed extension of Turing's position, and Chaitin has suggested
mystifying breaks in the chain of functional dependence. Meanwhile,
the apparent confirmation in quantum mechanics of a certain
non-locality, and conceptual failures in the physical sciences, has
led the fringe to draw associations that, some will argue, are no less
reasonable.
Certain contemporary philosophers have rejected manifest qualities
entirely, leaving us to face the necessary suspicion that there may
indeed be Zombies among us. Yet, in contradiction, we are confronted
by the expectations of populist computer science that machines will
"awaken," and that in doing so there will be born an intelligence more
capable and more profound than our own.
These breaks with traditional rigor have allowed the resurgence of
pseudoscience and old-fashioned metaphysics; they are desperate and
they are dangerous.
It is a surprising and remarkable fact that we can indeed imbue
computing machinery with aspects of our intelligent behavior, but this
is not sufficient to explain the presence of manifest qualities, of
what we will call "experience." Turing never asserted that it was.
I will focus upon the historical analysis that illustrates our neglect
of the issue. Essentially arguing that while the Turing model has
given us much to celebrate, we've become distracted by its
success. This point will, I hope, sow the seeds for a realization that
there are identifiable limits to Turing's model.
I will then introduce the premises of a new model, one in which the
basis of manifest qualities, experience, plays a role in the world, in
the formation of physical structures and their behavior. I will argue
that the failure of past models to identify such a role is a failure
in the foundations of science. I look to evidence in biophysics to
support the model.
The presented model has broad explanatory powers. It provides an
account of the introduction of complexity into the world, it
contributes to evolutionary theory and informs medicine. The model has
implications for the Foundations of Logic that extend to the
Foundations of Mathematics. It also provides the basis for the
construction of a new logical machinery, a proof of the theoretical
model in practice, and the development of machines that experience,
capable of recognition and motility.
I will discuss the development of the model, its current status and
remaining challenges; in particular I will discuss the challenges that
formalizing the model present.

"Forest-based Search Algorithms in Parsing and Machine Translation"
Liang Huang
University of Pennsylvania
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~lhuang3/
http://www.isi.edu/~lhuang/
Many problems in Natural Language Processing (NLP) involves an
efficient search for the best derivation over (exponentially) many
candidates, especially in parsing and machine translation. In these
cases, the concept of "packed forest" provides a compact
representation of the huge search spaces, where efficient inference
algorithms based on Dynamic Programming (DP) are possible.
In this talk we address two important open problems within this
framework: exact k-best inference which is often used in NLP pipelines
such as parse reranking and MT rescoring, and approximate inference
when the search space is too big for exact search.
We first present a series of fast and exact k-best algorithms on
forests, which are orders of magnitudes faster than previously used
methods on state-of-the-art parsers such as Collins (1999). We then
extend these algorithms for approximate search when the forests are
too big for exact inference. We discuss two particular instances of
this new method, forest rescoring for MT decoding with integrated
language models, and forest reranking for discriminative parsing. In
the former, our methods perform orders of magnitudes faster than
conventional beam search on both state-of-the-art phrase-based and
syntax-based systems, with the same level of search error or
translation quality. In the latter, faster search also leads to better
learning, where our approximate decoding makes whole-Treebank
discriminative training practical and results in the best accuracy to
date for parsers trained on the Treebank.
This talk includes joint work with David Chiang (USC Information
Sciences Institute).
About the Speaker: Liang Huang is a final-year PhD student at the
University of Pennsylvania, co-supervised by Aravind Joshi and Kevin
Knight (USC / ISI). He is mainly interested in the theoretical aspects
of computational linguistics, in particular, efficient algorithms in
parsing and machine translation, generic dynamic programming, and
formal properties of synchronous grammars. He also works on applying
computational linguistics to structural biology.

"Making del.cio.us Tastier"
Bernard Kerr and Joshua Schachter
Del.icio.us, Yahoo!
Del.icio.us has fundamentally changed the way people bookmark and
discover the best things on the web. With its launch in 2003, it
unleashed the concepts of social bookmarking and tagging on the web,
which have inspired an entire generation of social sites.
Many millions of bookmarks later, del.icio.us is now preparing for the
next stage of its journey: a new release that features a fresh design
with many new features. This talk will explore the unique design
challenges of evolving an iconic design into a much richer experience
that attracts new users without alienating the existing ones. We will
share many of the lessons learned along the way, and show how these
have affected our thinking and the upcoming design.
About the Speakers:
Bernard Kerr is the lead designer on del.icio.us. He is in charge of
the complete user experience for del.icio.us and the ecosystem of
products that surround it.
Prior to working at Yahoo! he was a Strategic Designer at IBM
Research's Collaborative User Experience group, where his research
focused on designing advanced concept software applications and
visualizations for collaboration. His work has been published
various places including the Infovis and CHI conferences. Before
joining IBM Research Bernard held positions at Interval Research
and IDEO. Bernard graduated from the Royal College of Art's
Computer Related Design program in London (2000). He also holds a
Bachelor of Architecture degree from Victoria University,
Wellington, New Zealand (1992).
Joshua Schachter, founder of del.icio.us, put web tagging and social
bookmarking front and center at Yahoo! when his company was
acquired in December 2005. Joshua is responsible for overseeing
the strategic direction and growth of the del.icio.us platform and
user community as part of Yahoo!'s ongoing development of social
search tools. Before founding del.icio.us, Inc. in 2005 (it was
originally developed as a personal hobby starting in 2003), Joshua
spent 10 years in the financial services industry in New York

"Placebo effects, price, and consumption utility:
How price can change the taste of wine"
Aurelie Beaumel
Symbolic Systems Program
Despite the ubiquitous presence of marketing in consumers' lives, the
knowledge of the psychological mechanisms by which marketing actions
influence consumer behavior remains limited. A recent neuroeconomics
study showed that increasing the price of a wine increases reported
taste pleasantness of the wine and neural activity in the brain areas
known to encode pleasure. In this presentation, I will propose a
theory explaining the psychological underpinnings of this effect,
arguing that price influences quality expectations, which in turn
influences experienced pleasantness. To support this hypothesis,
I will also present studies showing that the effect of price on
experienced pleasantness can be increased by making the price-quality
relationship more salient, and decreased by providing information that
weakens beliefs in the price-quality relationship.
About the Speaker: Aurelie Beaumel is an M.S. candidate in the
Symbolic Systems Program.

"Estimation for Color Engineering: Adaptive Neighborhoods
and Regularized Local Linear Regression"
Maya Gupta
University of Washington
Color engineering is about making colors look right or pleasing on
different devices such as printers and wide-gamut displays. Estimation
is often the key to solving such problems, where one must learn a
colorspace transformation that best models a sample set of input and
output colors. Local linear regression has been shown to be an
effective regression method for these applications. However, a key
problem for all local learning methods is how to define "local." We
show that using a new adaptive neighborhood definition with local
linear regression has bounded estimation variance, produces better
experimental results, and requires no training/cross-validation.
Experimental results will be shown for color management, color image
enhancement, and gamut expansion.
About the Speaker: Maya Gupta completed her Ph.D. in Electrical
Engineering in 2003 at Stanford University as a National Science
Foundation Graduate Fellow, where she worked with Robert Gray and
Richard Olshen. She did her BS in Electrical Engineering and a BA in
Economics at Rice University, 1994-1997. From 1999-2003 she worked for
Ricoh's California Research Center as a color image processing
research engineer. In the fall of 2003, she joined the EE faculty of
the University of Washington as an Assistant Professor. She was
awarded the 2007 Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award and
the 2007 Univ of Washington Dept. of Electrical Engineering
Outstanding Teaching Award. More information about her research is
