Abstract: Evaluating creativity is a challenging task, even for humans, not only because it is a subjective call, but also because it involves complex cognitive processes such as decomposition and drawing unlikely connections. Inspired by previous work in marketing, we attempt to break down creativity into atypicality and originality and collect fine-grained human annotation on these categories. With controlled experiments with vision language models (VLM), we evaluate the alignment between models and humans by a suite of novel tasks. Our results show decent alignments between humans and models, pointing to the promising direction for future work in automatic creativity evaluation.
