Topic
At Numenta we aim to understand the computational principles underlying the neocortex, and build intelligent machines based on those principles. At its most basic level the neocortex takes in a stream of sensory data, builds a
sensorimotor model of the world and outputs a stream of motor actions. Recent advances in neuroscience and neural imaging techniques have led to an explosion of data and information regarding these functions. In this talk I will describe a number of cortical principles and how, as computer scientists, we can translate them into working systems. The core ideas have been validated in commercial streaming analytics applications, and an optimized implementation is available in our open source project called NuPIC. Although we still have much work to do, this work forms a foundation for building biologically inspired intelligent machines.
