StructSim: Measuring Idea Similarity at Scale Through Structural Representation
Yaqing Yang, Yaqing yang, Vikram Mohanty +4
Measuring idea similarity is fundamental to creativity evaluation, especially as LLMs enable idea generation at increasing scale. However, text embeddings collapse an idea into a s…
What to Make Sense of in the Era of LLM? A Perspective from the Structure and Efforts in Sensemaking
Tianyi Li, Satya Samhita Bonepalli, Vikram Mohanty
Sensemaking tasks often entail navigating through complex, ambiguous data to construct coherent insights. Prior work has shown that crowds can effectively distribute cognitive load…
FlexMind: Supporting Deeper Creative Thinking with LLMs
Yaqing Yang, Vikram Mohanty, Yan-Ying Chen +3
Expert ideation requires more than generating ideas. People must articulate trade-offs, develop mitigations, and compare parallel directions, yet this reasoning process is cognitiv…
Scaffolding Flexible Ideation Workflows with AI in Creative Problem-Solving
Yaqing Yang, Vikram Mohanty, Nikolas Martelaro +3
Divergent thinking in the ideation stage of creative problem-solving demands that individuals explore a broad design space. Yet this exploration rarely follows a neat, linear seque…
From Overload to Insight: Scaffolding Creative Ideation through Structuring Inspiration
Yaqing Yang, Vikram Mohanty, Nikolas Martelaro +3
Creative ideation relies on exploring diverse stimuli, but the overwhelming abundance of information often makes it difficult to identify valuable insights or reach the `aha' momen…
