Abstract: Dr Inventor is a system that is at once, a computational model of creative thinking and also a tool to ignite the creativity process among its users. Dr Inventor uncovers creative bisociations between semi-structured documents like academic papers, patent applications and psychology materials, by adopting a “big data” perspective to discover creative comparisons. The Dr Inventor system is described focusing on the transformation of this textual information into the graph-structure required by the creative cognitive model. Results are described using data from both psychological test materials and published research papers. The operation of Dr Inventor for both focused creativity and open ended creativity is also outlined.
