Hello there. I'm Simon Colton, a senior lecturer in
the Department of Computing at Imperial College London.
Some details:
- I'm an Artificial Intelligence researcher, specialising
in questions of computational creativity. In particular, I
lead the Computational Creativity Group. We develop novel AI
techniques, and integrate existing techniques to show that
the whole can be more than a sum of the parts when applied to
creative tasks. We apply our
techniques to creative tasks in domains such as pure mathematics,
bioinformatics, visual arts, graphic design and video games.
