Key Numenta Research Discoveries
Numenta is on a mission to solve the grand scientific challenge of figuring out how the brain works. Through a focus on cortical theory, Numenta researchers have made some important discoveries that lay the foundation for a new framework for intelligence. This video explains two of those discoveries, both documented in peer-reviewed papers.
AI Singapore Meetup: The Biological Path Toward Strong AI
In this talk in an AI Singapore Meetup on HTM, Matt Taylor discusses why today’s weak AI will not produce intelligence. He talks about details of our Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) technology, such as Sparse Distributed Representations (SDRs), Spatial Pooling, Temporal Memory, and Sensorimotor Inference Theory.
Jeff Hawkins at the Simons Institute: Grid Cell-Like Mechanisms in the Neocortex
Jeff Hawkins’ Simons Institute talk is part of the Computational Theories of the Brain Workshop held on April 17, 2018. In his talk, he proposes that the neocortex learns models of objects using the same methods that the entorhinal cortex uses to map environments.
Numenta: Why Brains Matter
Understanding the brain is one of science’s most important problems, and while many people believe it’s not solvable, researchers at Numenta disagree. Numenta is on a mission to reverse-engineer the brain and establish a path to machine intelligence. Watch this two minute video to see why the brain is not only a remarkable organ but the key to understanding intelligence.
Jeff’s MIT Talk: Have We Missed Half of What the Neocortex Does?
In Jeff Hawkins’ MIT talk, he describes a theory that sensory regions of the neocortex process two inputs. One input is the well-known sensory data, and he proposes that the other is a representation of allocentric location. He discusses material from our March 2016 neuron paper and our October 2017 columns paper.
ODSC West 2017: The Biological Path Toward Strong AI
In this ODSC West talk, Matt Taylor discusses the biological path toward strong AI and why today’s AI won’t lead to truly intelligent machines. ODSC is a data science conference that fosters the exchange of the latest advances in AI and data science and encourages the growth of open source applications.
