New arXiv preprint (arXiv:2610.12845v1) proposes formal postulates for creativity grounded in psychological work (notably Boden's newness, value, surprise) and presents a unified mathematical definition. The authors validate the formula on two domains—evaluating chess moves and assessing paintings (including works by Picasso and Renoir)—reporting that the measure captures creative patterns across both domains.
Researchers at Microsoft and the University of Illinois released StudentSim, a two-stage system that builds individualized student replicas from limited data (using Alibaba's Qwen3-4B-Instruct as a base) to simulate both typical mistakes and responsiveness to instruction. Tested on public datasets in chess, English-as-a-foreign-language and math, StudentSim outperformed a prompted GPT-5.4 in predicting behavior and yielded better tutor training in a chess proof-of-concept; the code is available on GitHub.
