Numenta just posted an Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) white paper. HTM is the brain theory of Jeff Hawkins and Sandra Blakeslee described in their book On Intelligence.
The white paper is like updated Cliff Notes to their book including commonly asked questions. Helps to have presented on conferences like AC2005 where people asks these questions :-)
I think it is a very interesting and quite plausible theory and I can't wait to see it tested. They promise to have a toolset out by the end of 2006. Let's cross our fingers. We'll keep an eye on it.
I read the white paper in search of any clues on how to implement it with software structure that can be mapped to its biological counterpart. As far as i see it the technology is still in concept stage and yet needs an implementable structure defined.
