The New Era of Machine Intelligence

Event Description:

In March 2005, Donna Dubinsky, Jeff Hawkins and Dileep George, founded Numenta, Inc. Their goal is to create machine intelligence by developing theory based off the principles in the neocortex.

Numenta has developed a cohesive theory, core software technology, and numerous applications all based on principles of the neocortex. This technology lays the groundwork for the new era of machine intelligence. Their innovative work delivers breakthrough capabilities and demonstrates that a computing approach based on biological learning principles will make possible a new generation of capabilities not possible with today’s programmed computers.

Like the brain, Numenta’s machine intelligence technology can be applied to many types of problems. We have tested it on a variety of applications to validate its broad applicability.
