'''Simon Colton''' (London, 1973) is a British [[computer scientist]], currently working in the Computational Creativity Group at Goldsmiths College in the University of London, where he is Professor of Computational Creativity.

He previously led a research group of the same name at Imperial College, London in the position of Reader. He graduated from the University of Durham with a degree in Mathematics, gained a MSc. in Pure Mathematics at the University of Liverpool, and finally a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Edinburgh, under the supervision of Professor [[Alan Bundy]].

Simon is the driving force behind [thepaintingfool.com thepaintingfool.com], an [[artificial intelligence]] that he hopes will one day be accepted as an [[artist]] in its own right.

His work, along with that of [[Maja Pantic]] and [[Michel Valstar]], won the [[British Computing Society Machine Intelligence Award]] in 2007. The work has also been the subject of some media attention.

Prior to his work on The Painting Fool, Simon worked on the [[HR (program)|HR tool]], a reasoning tool that was applied to discover mathematical concepts. The system successfully discovered [[Theorem|theorems]] and [[Conjecture|conjectures]], some of which were novel enough to become published works.
