Numenta has researched the brain for 17 years, and now it finally has a product that it hopes can make AI up to 100 times more efficient. The Redwood City, California-based company — started by ...

You started Numenta. You said that you’d been studying the brain for 25 years or so. It seemed to me that you knew an awful lot about the brain already.

Numenta was co-founded by Jeff Hawkins, the founder of Palm Computing in the 1990s, which in turn invented the Palm Pilot. Hawkins' deepest academic interest is neuroscience, which showed up in ...

Xilinx Numenta, the Silicon Valley artificial intelligence firm founded by Palm Pilot creator Jeff Hawkins, has been able to achieve a dramatic speed up in conventional neural networks using ...

Numenta previously announced a 50x speed-up using a Sparse-Dense implementation, which takes full advantage of sparse weights but not sparse activations. For this demonstration, they added a ...

Numenta’s Grok for IT product, built upon the company’s novel HTM technology, is one of the most impressive AI products available. If you’re in IT you need to check Grok for IT out; it could ...

Numenta compared sparse and dense networks by running its algorithms on Xilinx FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) for a speech recognition task using the Google Speech Commands (GSC) dataset.

Jul 11, 2008 Decent piece in BusinessWeek profiling Jeff Hawkins' startup Numenta. Numenta is building artificial intelligence that attempts to replicate the function of the human neocortex to solve ...

Numenta’s Brain-Inspired Software Adds Smarts to the Grid The company’s Grok software processes “fast data” for EnerNoc and makes predictions about customers’ energy usage.

Numenta's first product is a set of software-building "tools," similar to those of Borland Software and IBM 's Rational software product, in this case for creating memory-building hierarchies that ...

Numenta, a company with backing from the Gates Foundation, on Wednesday released an open-source AI model it hopes will require less energy and data to create intelligent machines than existing ...

Numenta’s sparse network utilizes highly sparse weights and activations, like in the neocortex. Their sparse-sparse techniques allow for extreme activation sparsity while maintaining model accuracy.
