About Me

I wrote my first AI model in 1980, modelling a young child’s conceptual model of numbers and basic arithmetic operations. In 1986 I published a machine learning paper comparing the impact of the different machine learning algorithms and different data representations – finding that the data representation effect was much greater than the effect of the algorithms.
