“…Besides, some research studies are working on applying brainstorming into engineering design creativity and human ideation, such as Figure 3 from Goncher and his colleagues' work [29]. Because this figure is easy to understand, detailed explanations are omitted in this paper due to page limitation.…”

“…Because this figure is easy to understand, detailed explanations are omitted in this paper due to page limitation. [29] According to above information, in order to represent clearly, we summarised human ideation process as Figure 4 with explanations followed. Basically, as above diagram shows, there are four main steps to generate ideas under general circumstances:…”

Today, idea generation is an extremely important activity for both academic researchers and industrial groups. A considerable number of applications and research studies have been made in the past years in order to increase the effectiveness of idea making process. However, there is lack of efforts on making machine generated ideas novel, surprising and valuable. This research uses concept machine ideation for machinery creative ideas generation and aims to discuss the realistic of bespoke machines ideation, which is simplified as bespoke ideation in the main text. After carefully reviewed the current situation of human ideation, it raises challenge issue to be addressed in this paper. Then, it reviews representative human ideation cases and summarises an overview process for general human ideation. Moreover, it simulates the overview process into a machine ideation process. Next, related concepts and techniques are discussed including Creative Computing, new idea, and creativity. Based on the discussions and the simulated machine ideation process, this paper provides a Creative Computing method to achieve bespoke ideation. Then, detailed techniques and rules that needed to be designed and applied are planned and explained for all the phases to fulfil the machine ideation approach as bespoke approach. Furthermore, a prototype of Research Topics Generation System (RTGS) is developed as a bespoke ideation system to illustrate the proposed approach as well as prove the approach's feasibility, in which a set of new research topics on a designated domain is generated to inspire further studies. The main contribution of this paper is the proposed bespoke ideation approach, by which machine ideation is possible to be achieved in reality.

“…The results showed no difference in the ability of creative thinking among learners of high and low achievers, but the students were all female and came from a town which has the ability to think creatively better. The results of the study by Groncher et al (2009) and the opinion of Anwar and Rasool (2012) can be considered in examining the relationship between creative thinking ability and prior knowledge.…”

“…Research by Groncher, Johri, Kothaneth, and Lohani (2009) showed that prior ability contributed to the ability of learners to make new engineering design solutions. Prior ability can be defined as the ability possessed by learners who are used to facilitating the acquisition, organization, and rephrasing of new knowledge (Sanjaya, 2012).…”

This study aims to determine the relationship between prior knowledge and creative thinking ability of 11 th Grade science students. This research is ex post facto. The population for this research was 11 th Grade science students at a public school in Takalar, Indonesia, and consisted of 39 classes with a total enrollment of 1,537 students. In selecting the sample, the study employed stratified purposive random sampling technique in order to select 134 of the 11 th Grade science students (from SMAN 1 Takalar, SMAN 3 Takalar, SMAN 1 Polongbangkeng Selatan, and SMAN 3 Polongbangkeng Utara). The data was collected by using a prior knowledge test that consisted of 16 items (α = 0.883) and a verbal creativity test consisting of 18 items (α = 0.808). Data were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis. The coefficient correlation between the two variables is 0.619 with p = 0.000 (p <0.05). This value indicates the existence of a relationship between prior knowledge and creative thinking ability in chemistry students and that there is a positive relationship between the two variables.

“…Therefore, the authors also noted treating of new knowledge at the different level might not be the same treating the same knowledge at another level. In summary, many authors define exploration related to redeploying or utilize existing knowledge [39][40] [41][42] to achieve targeted goals whereas exploration occurs when existing knowledge is not adequate to solve identified problems [42], search for new market with new develop a product [35] or apply knowledge in an innovative way [40].…”
