Edit ProfileCareer
He previously led a research group of the same name at Imperial College, London in the position of Reader. in Pure Mathematics at the University of Liverpool, and finally a Doctor of Philosophy in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Edinburgh, under the supervision of Professor Alan Bundy. Simon is the driving force behind thepaintingfool.com, an artificial intelligence that he hopes will one day be accepted as an artist in its own right. The work has also been the subject of some media attention.
Prior to his work on The Painting Fool, Simon worked on the Human Resources tool, a reasoning tool that was applied to discover mathematical concepts.
The system successfully discovered theorems and conjectures, some of which were novel enough to become published works.
