Papers

This page needs some serious updating...

It contains few random research papers of mine that happen to be online.  These are not at all representative of my overall corpus of work -- a lot of my papers are much more technical than these, but I don't have most of those in electronic format anymore, due to accidentally deleting all my LaTeX files some time ago!  Many of those papers are online in other places, but I haven't taken the time to look them up and link to them here.

The page also contains a list of papers, not online, that is current up to around 2004, but has a few omissions even before that date....

I have had a bunch (16-17?) of journal and conference papers published in 2006, largely bioinformatics ones but some more AI-oriented ones as well. These are not included here; but some of the bioinformatics papers are given on the biomind.com website.

The vast majority of my publication record dates from the early and mid 1990's -- because I received my PhD in 1989, and then in 1997 I left academia for the software industry. Since then most of my technical research has been proprietary and unpublished, and I've tended to express my non-proprietary ideas in the form of informal essays rather than going through the hassle of writing up papers for publication.

Also, I have had a number of papers in the online journal Dynamical Psychology that I co-edit; for those, go to the dynapsyc webpage.
