Designers create inspirational mood boards to express their design ideas visually, through collages of images and text. They find appropriate images and reflect on them as they explore emergent design concepts. After presenting the results of a participatory design workshop and a survey of professional designers, we introduce SemanticCollage, a digital mood board tool that […]

Professional designers create mood boards to explore, visualize, and communicate hard-to-express ideas. We present ImageSense, an intelligent, collaborative ideation tool that combines individual and shared work spaces, as well as collaboration with multiple forms of intelligent agents.

Design ideation is a prime creative activity in design. However, it is challenging to support computationally, because of its quickly evolving and exploratory nature. This paper studies cooperative contextual bandits (CCB) as a machine learning method for interactive ideation support. CCBs can learn to propose domain-relevant contributions and adapt their exploration/ exploitation strategy. We developed […]
