Welcome to the Computational Creativity Group (CCG) of the Department of Computing, Imperial College London, UK.
We conduct Artificial Intelligence research into the development and combination of AI systems for creative tasks. We are interested in computational creativity in both the arts and sciences, in particular in pure mathematics, bioinformatics, graphic design, video games and the visual arts. (What is Computational Creativity?)
If you have any questions about the research in the group, please email the relevant group member, or for general enquiries, please email Simon Colton (sgc@doc.ic.ac.uk).
Simon Colton to talk at the “Thursday Club” in the Department of Computing at Goldsmith's College. Further details are available here: The Thursday Club
Robin Baumgarten has won the second and final stage of the Infinite Mario AI competition. You can see his AI player in action on YouTube (over half a million views!) and read an interview with Robin about it on AIGameDev.com. Congratulations Robin!
Daniel Ramirez, Jeremy Gow and Simon Colton are AI subject chairs for the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society's Games Innovation Conference, held at Imperial this month.
Our work on creativity in mathematics is covered by the New Scientist: Rise of the robogeeks. This is a joint project with the University of Edinburgh, and Heriot-Watt University. Find out more about The Wheelbarrow Project.
