Simon Colton's Web Pages


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. Our web pages are here: www.doc.ic.ac.uk/ccg.
  • I'm the guy behind The Painting Fool, which is a computer program that aspires to be an artist. For information, please click here: www.thepaintingfool.com.
  • I'm one of the academic leaders of the EPSRC funded Industry/Academia Research Network on AI and Games. Please see www.aigamesnetwork.org for more details.
  • I teach courses on Artificial Intelligence to both undergraduate and postgraduate classes. My teaching pages are here.
  • I'm involved in organising various activities within the AI research world. For details of the events I'm associated with, please see: my events page.
  • I'm the third year coordinator for the Department of Computing. The third year noticeboard is here: third year noticeboard.
