New HTM paper – “Why Neurons Have Thousands of Synapses, A Theory of Sequence Memory in Neocortex”
The artificial neuron model used by Jeff Hawkins and Subutai Ahmad in their new paper (image reproduced from their paper, and cropped). Their neuron model is inspired by the pyramidal cells found in neocortex layers 2/3 and 5. It has been several years since Jeff Hawkins and Numenta published the Cortical Learning Algorithm (CLA) whitepaper.…
