\section{Revision plan}\label{plan-of-action}  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  \textbf{(Joe, Alison): Significantly clarify the argument and  summarise it in the introduction.}  \end{enumerate}  \begin{itemize}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  We are offering one possible computational definition of serendipity  \item  Serendipity is not the same as luck. ~It's a matter of learning  something, in a way that's unanticipated. ~Looking for something and  finding something else.  \item  Explain the aspects of the model better, e.g.~why is it essential that  the trigger is not under the control of the system.  \item  Clearly summarise the offering of the paper.  \end{itemize}  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}  \setcounter{enumi}{1}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  \textbf{(Joe): Move our formal definition of serendipity (e.g.~the  diagram) up to meet the literature review, as a new section `Formal  definition of Serendipity'. (It's a key contribution of the paper.)}  \end{enumerate}  \begin{itemize}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  We will clearly connect the heuristic criteria from Alison with the  figure.  \item  In addition a quick graphical summary of the 13 criteria  \end{itemize}  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}  \setcounter{enumi}{2}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  \textbf{(Joe): Drop sections 3 and 4, and move key concepts to  ``future work''}  \end{enumerate}  \begin{itemize}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  Section 3 (FloWr) - heavily condense and put into future work (some  overview of Joe's concrete implementation plans). ~Explain with  minimal references.  \item  Section 4 (Design patterns) - heavily condensed - ``Just So Stories''  paragraph in Section 5.3 as a potential application. ~Explain some  history about design patterns and say that, for serendipity, the  question is where do new ``design'' ideas come from. ~(I.e. discovery  of a new approach.) ~But make this future work.  \item  ``We are highlighting how design patterns and the other ideas in this  paper could be used to build a context where serendipity will take  place.''  \end{itemize}  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}  \setcounter{enumi}{3}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  \textbf{(Anna): Remove Section 5.3 (save it for another paper about  Writers Workshops). It's relevant for ``embedded creativity'' but  ``Writers Workshops'' themselves can be a footnote. The actual idea  here is more general.}  \end{enumerate}  \begin{itemize}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  Anna can add more about evaluation in the creative process  \item  The idea of the WW (or just social revision) is an example of a place  where serendipity can occur.  \end{itemize}  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}  \setcounter{enumi}{4}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  \textbf{(Anna): Leading into our thought experiment: ``An emerging  theme in computing is exploitation of social creativity and feedback.  Our computational model contributes to theorising this work.''}  \end{enumerate}  \begin{itemize}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  Include another example with computational serendipity? Maybe the  example from Kaz's thesis  \item  It would not be hard to find an example of a music system noticing  that a note was wrong and playing. Make sure we include at least one  example that is not ``technically improbable'' -- better to include  several that have been realised (e.g.~Copycat)  \end{itemize}  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}  \setcounter{enumi}{5}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  \textbf{(Christian): Copycat or any other historical examples of  serendipity in computing, or explanation of why there are none (argue  for or against, in the background section, as a new ยงยง, and perhaps  again later in the document as a further analysis to accompany our  thought experiment).}  \end{enumerate}  \begin{itemize}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  Concrete lower bound examples and counterexamples, e.g.~would it be  possible for ``merely generative'' systems to exhibit serendipity? --  case of genetic algorithms  \item  What is the difference between serendipity and good luck? (E.g. a  random act that leads to an outcome that is evaluated positively.)  \item  What are the strict requirements and what are only the supportive  factors that make serendipity ``likely''? Or is it a matter of degree?  \item  Is it the case that serendipitous systems would be more `sagacious' in  recognizing interesting triggers? - explain, especially in connection  with computational search.  \item  What about `regular' systems that work by applying inference  procedures on symbolic representations to yield new representations?  \begin{itemize}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  e.g.~theorem provers  \end{itemize}  \item  Evaluate existing approaches to ``computational learning'' - are they  serendipitous?  \end{itemize}  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}  \setcounter{enumi}{6}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  \textbf{(Simon, Alison): Clarify the extent to which serendipity is  something that ``actually exists'' or is something that is only  perceived to exist.}  \end{enumerate}  \begin{itemize}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  It does not seem to be an ``essentially contested concept'', just a  potentially confusing one. One contribution of the paper is to clarify  this.  \item  Clarify the relationship to other key concepts in computational  creativity / creative computing  \end{itemize}  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}  \setcounter{enumi}{7}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  \textbf{(Alison): Include a section early on that defines any other  keywords that we refer to later, like the word ``dynamic''.}  \item  \textbf{(Alison): Improve exposition of the analysis of Pek van  Andel's patterns.}  \end{enumerate}  \begin{itemize}  \item  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{(\arabic{enumi})}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  What do we hope to achieve with this analysis, and our diagram?  \end{enumerate}  \item  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{(\arabic{enumi})}  \setcounter{enumi}{1}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  Have we done the analysis in some verifiable way, i.e. ``where does  the analysis come from (i.e.~which aspect occurs in which pattern)?  Is there clear consensus on this?''  \end{enumerate}  \end{itemize}  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}  \setcounter{enumi}{9}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  \textbf{(Joe, all): Make referencing less intensive for the reader.}  \end{enumerate}  \begin{itemize}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  Use APA style referencing and cut down on number of references.  \item  Clearly explain in narrative form what sort of literature we will draw  on.  \item  Perhaps the historical examples of serendipity should be confined to a  separate ``recommended reading'' section and not referenced directly  in the text.  \end{itemize}  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}  \setcounter{enumi}{10}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  \textbf{(Christian, Anna): Shorten and improve the literature review.}  \end{enumerate}  \begin{itemize}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  Preserve key features of the general survey, but include a more  thorough review of recent related work in computing, including work in  the Cognitive Computation journal.  \item  There has been prior work on surprise (Mary Lou Maher + Kazjon Grace -  \href{http\%20s://www.google.com/url?q=https\%3A\%2F\%2Fwww.aaai.org\%2Focs\%2Findex.php\%2F\%20WS\%2FAAAIW14\%2Fpaper\%2Fview\%2F8779\&sa=D\&sntz=1\&usg=AFQjCNGFIWctyzoi4ZSfD\%20oIrAznrL4Be0g}{https://www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/WS/AAAIW14/paper/view/8779}  and also their paper at ICCC 2013 or 2014) and discovery (Kaz's AAAI  paper)  \end{itemize}  \begin{enumerate}  \def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}  \setcounter{enumi}{11}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  \textbf{(Joe): Confine philosophy references (e.g.~Bergson, Deleuze)  to the background section so that it doesn't confuse anyone about what  we're actually offering in the paper.}  \end{enumerate}  \begin{itemize}  \itemsep1pt\parskip0pt\parsep0pt  \item  Don't refer to them in the conclusion, but do summarise the  contribution of this paper again in the conclusion (hint: it should be  what we say in the title).  \item  Re-summarise again in the abstract.  \end{itemize}
