The Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College is pleased to announce the first annual Neukom Institute Prizes in Computational Arts. These competitions aim to inspire innovations in computational methods that generate artistic products, such as literary, musical, and visual art.
Two of this year's contests are in creative natural language generation: the "DigiLit" task, which encourages the creation of algorithms able to produce a short story, and "PoetiX", a competition in computer-generated sonnet writing in response to a prompt.
Program submissions are due March 15 2016, and will be evaluated by judges against human-generated stories and poems. Cash prizes are awarded to winning entries.
