Technical Resources

Numenta's education materials start with the theory of HTM and then outline the development process. The Numenta Community Forum and Wiki complement the education materials with discussions on specific issues, examples and experimentation.

  1. HTM Resources
    Provides a general introduction to HTMs and a comparison with other technologies, appropriate for both a technical and non-technical audience. Includes white papers, videos, and Dileep's thesis.


  2. Evaluating your own problem
    Identifies what kinds of problems can be solved by HTM technology, includes a clear, easy-to-understand example.


  3. Time Based Inference
    A guide on Time Based Inference (TBI). What it is and how to use it.


  4. NuPIC algorithms
    Provides more in-depth information about the NuPIC algorithms.


  5. Biological basis of HTMs
    This hour long talk describes how HTM technology maps to the anatomy and physiology of the brain.


  6. Other reference materials
    Links to other helpful material, including Python, neuroscience, etc.


  7. Independent research papers
    Links to research papers from independent scientists and engineers about Hierarchical Temporal Memory and about Numenta technology.
