CreativeBench: Benchmarking and Enhancing Machine Creativity via Self-Evolving Challenges

arXiv:2603.11863v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The saturation of high-quality pre-training data has shifted research focus toward evolutionary systems capable of continuously generating novel artifacts, leading to the success of AlphaEvolve. However, the progress of such systems is hindered by the lack of rigorous, quantitative evaluation. To tackle this challenge, we introduce CreativeBench, a benchmark for evaluating machine creativity in code generation, grounded in a classical cognitive
