Towards a Visual Remote Associates Test and its Computational Solver

Abstract. The Remote Associates Test (RAT) is a test used for measuring creativity as relying on the power of making associations, and it normally takes a linguistic form (i.e., given three words, a fourth word associated with all three is asked for). The aim of this paper is towards generalizing this test to other domains, checking for its possible application in the visual domain (i.e., given three images, an object associated to them is asked for). A pilot visual version of the Remote Associates Test (RAT-V) was created and given to human participants. A previous solver of the compound linguistic Remote Associates Test (comRAT-C) was adapted to become a prototype which can solve the visual Remote Associates Test (comRAT-V).
