Your profile

I have a wide range of interests, mainly linking philosophy, AI, cognitive science, psychology and biology.

I look after the Free Poplog Web site www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/freepoplog.html and would be interested in helping anyone who wishes to install it and try using it, e.g. to learn about AI, to learn general programming, etc.

There's more information about me, and links to papers, pdf presentations, discussion notes, etc. here www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~axs

I don't use a blog because I don't like the format.

Added: 20th Aug 2009

I have substantially enlarged the information about teaching resources available in Poplog, including teaching about programming paradigms, natural language processing, logic programming, analogical reasoning, graphics, ... and illustrating some of the tradeoffs between graphical and textual programming environments for learners, here www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/freepoplog.html#teaching

I have also produced a draft revised version of the slides for my presentation at the Unconference on 20th July here: www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/cogaff/talks/#ncsl in PDF format, also available in flash on slideshare.net: here

Comments and suggestions may be appended here or emailed to me at A.Sloman at cs.bham.ac.uk
