This paper demonstrates how Numenta’s online sequence memory algorithm, HTM, meets the requirements necessary for real-time anomaly detection in streaming data. It presents results using the Numenta Anomaly Benchmark (NAB), the first open-source benchmark designed for testing real-time anomaly detection algorithms.
This paper contains an analysis of HTM sequence memory applied to various sequence learning and prediction problems. Written with a machine learning perspective, the paper contains some comparisons to statistical and Deep Learning techniques.
This foundational paper describes core HTM theory for sequence memory and its relationship to the neocortex. Written with a neuroscience perspective, the paper explains why neurons have so many synapses and how networks of neurons can form a powerful sequence learning mechanism.
Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) is a biologically inspired machine intelligence technology that mimics the architecture and processes of the neocortex. In this white paper we describe how to encode data as Sparse Distributed Representations (SDRs) for use in HTM systems. We explain several existing encoders, which are available through the open source project called NuPIC, and we discuss requirements for creating encoders for new types of data.
This paper describes a mathematical model for quantifying the benefits and limitations of sparse representations in neurons and cortical networks.
