From OpenCog
Joel Pitt is a multidisciplinary scientist who has contributed to work in bioinformatics, artificial intelligence and more recently ecology and entomology. His PhD at Lincoln University [1], New Zealand, involved the development of a spatially explicit stochastic simulation model to investigate the spread of invasive species across variable landscapes. Joel obtained his B.Sc (Hons.) from the University of Canterbury [2] where he majored in computational biology and artificial intelligence and has also developed novel search algorithms for micro-satellite DNA sequences [3].
What is Joel working on?
Currently Joel is finishing work on Attention Allocation and porting a Novamente implementation of PLN to OpenCog.
He'd eventually like to get a tool for visualising and debugging the AtomSpace implemented with pretty graphs and high usability, as well as a Python wrapper for the AtomSpace to speed up prototyping and implement non computationally intensive mind processes.
