Abstract
Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for inducing creativity in an artificial neural network (ANN) having an encoder and decoder. Neurons are automatically selected and manipulated from one or more layers of the encoder. An encoded vector is sampled for an encoded image. Decoder neurons and a corresponding activation pattern are evaluated with respect to the encoded image. The decoder neurons that correspond to the activation pattern are selected, and an activation setting of the selected decoder neurons is changed. One or more novel data instances are automatically generated from an original latent space of the selectively changed decoder neurons.
