about me
I am an expert in
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning with over 30 years
experience of building AI applications for commercial gain. I am
acknowledged a leading expert in case-based reasoning (a memory-based learning method) but I am
familiar with most machine learning techniques. I am an applied
computer scientist; in my opinion a theory is useless if it can't
be turned into a business' advantage. I have been employed as a
consultant by, Unisys, Legal and General, The RAC, the UK Cabinet
Office, Inference (now eGain), Datasquirt (now LiveOps), Smallworlds,
Unimarket, Mi4Corners, Vensa, Ora. and Tourism NZ amongst others. I'm
passionate about making AI work for real benefit.
In 2012 I wrote a book on the history of computing called "The Universal
Machine: from the dawn of computing to digital consciousness."
The book was published in 2012 by Springer. The book has a 4.5-star
review rating on Amazon. My blog https://universal-machine.blogspot.com/
provides
details of the
book and other interesting computer science
stuff.
I was invited by Event Communications, a London-based exhibition design
group, to be an historical advisor to the redevelopment of the
Communications Gallery of the Russian Polytechnic Science Museum in Moscow. This is part
of a $250 million (USD) refurbishment of one of Moscow's cultural
landmarks.
I'm
a frequent interviewee on NZ media on AI.
