Numenta Publishes Breakthrough Theory for Intelligence and Cortical Computation

A new paper published in Frontiers in Neural Circuits titled, A Framework for Intelligence and Cortical Function Based on Grid Cells in the Neocortex, proposes a new way to understand how the neocortex works. Numenta’s Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence offers significant implications for the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence.

Numenta Introduces Breakthrough Theory for Intelligence and Cortical Computation

In a new research paper titled A Framework for Intelligence and Cortical Function Based on Grid Cells in the Neocortex, Numenta researchers propose a broad framework for understanding what the neocortex does and how it works. Numenta’s Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence offers significant implications for the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence.

Numenta Publishes a New Theory on Sensorimotor Inference

In the Numenta Columns paper, they proposed a theory for how the brain learns models of objects through movement. The theory is an important piece of their goal to reverse-engineer the neocortex. In a blog titled “The Secret to Strong AI” on Medium, Jeff Hawkins describes the importance of the new theory to AGI.

Numenta Demonstrates HTM Results on Real-time Anomaly Detection

Neuroscience and machine intelligence researchers at Numenta reveal Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM)’s results on real-time anomaly detection. They have described the technique in a new peer-reviewed paper, Unsupervised real-time anomaly detection for streaming data, published in a special issue of Neurocomputing.

New Numenta Paper Compares HTM to Machine Learning Techniques

Numenta’s paper, “Continuous Online Sequence Learning with an Unsupervised Neural Network Model”, looks at Numenta’s HTM vs. other machine learning techniques, including RNNs like LSTM and echo-state networks. The paper was published in MIT Press’ Neural Computation journal.
