Hierarchical Temporal Memory

Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) is a machine learning model developed by Jeff Hawkins and Dileep George of Numenta, Inc. that models some of the structural and algorithmic properties of the neocortex as Bayesian networks.

While criticized by the AI community as rehashing existing material (for example, in the December 2005 issue of the Artificial Intelligence journal), the model is quite novel in proposing functions for cortical layers. As such it is related to similar work by Tomaso Poggio and David Mumford amongst others.
