Spinneret: Aiding Creative Ideation through Non-Obvious Concept Associations
Mind mapping is a popular way to explore a design space in creative thinking
exercises, allowing users to form associations between concepts. Yet, most
existing digital tools for mind mapping focus on authoring and organization,
with little support for addressing the challenges of mind mapping such as
stagnation and design fixation. We present Spinneret, a functional approach to
aid mind mapping by providing suggestions based on a knowledge graph. Spinneret
uses biased random walks to explore the knowledge graph in the neighborhood of
an existing concept node in the mind map, and provides "suggestions" for the
user to add to the mind map. A comparative study with a baseline mind-mapping
tool reveals that participants created more diverse and distinct concepts with
Spinneret, and reported that the suggestions inspired them to think of ideas
they would otherwise not have explored.Comment: ACM CHI 202

Creativity on paid crowdsourcing platforms
Abstract
Crowdsourcing platforms are increasingly being harnessed for creative work. The platformsâ potential for creative work is clearly identified, but the workersâ perspectives on such work have not been extensively documented. In this paper, we uncover what the workers have to say about creative work on paid crowdsourcing platforms. Through a quantitative and qualitative analysis of a questionnaire launched on two different crowdsourcing platforms, our results revealed clear differences between the workers on the platforms in both preferences and prior experience with creative work. We identify common pitfalls with creative work on crowdsourcing platforms, provide recommendations for requesters of creative work, and discuss the meaning of our findings within the broader scope of creativity-oriented research. To the best of our knowledge, we contribute the first extensive worker-oriented study of creative work on paid crowdsourcing platforms
