Framework for Intelligence (Episode 15)

[jonbmia]

Thank you!!! I can't believe I'm alive to see this!!!

[madmanzila]

impressive... only 500 people seen this Creating "Buy-in" can be tough.
Keep up the good Work I love it whenever you guys put out a video on Htm school

[wissalmidani]

thanks rhyolight, Your contribution was very helpful and understandable, I am so grateful

[fergusmoffat]

Hey Matt, Awsome video, I think the breakthroughs you guys have made and your project in general will prove to be one of the most impactful research projects in human history and I am so inspired and greatful. Could you please comment on how OpenWaters new MRI technology could contribute to your understanding of cortical columns, is it sufficient for you to ultimately understand the full workings of the cortical colemns, or will more powerful scanning tools be required.

[preethasuresh]

Good explanation. Very helpful. Thanks for the video.

[thorisomolefe]

So like my brain broke at several times towards the end then Matt apologises for blowing our minds lmao. Like in all that confusion and marvelling.

[sgrimm]

About how long till the 1000 brains video? That one seems really interesting. Good job on episode 15, very informative.

I have Dyslexia, I have always struggled to explain what its like. I can now say that either my universe is too small, objects in my universe get clumped together or my displacement cells are not very accurate. This also might explain why dyslexia is more common in the creative industries "although I think the main reason is that its a profession that one can excel at without being outed.", creativity is all about bringing things together that you would otherwise not think to bring together. If a persons displacement cells were less accurate they may begin to link two things that were otherwise unrelated and then evaluate that link and possible create a new valid displacement were none existed before.

It would be sad if thats all creativity is though as that's the thing a lot of folks seem to think will save us from the automation revolution.

Finally! Thank you for all your effort Matt! Also, is there going to be a paper or something released on this? It's a really interesting concept and would love to see more details.

[5:27] "Each [cortical] column has its own unique experience of every object it has ever taken a part in learning"; An issue with storing modality specific representations of an object in different cortical columns is that it would make the task of imagining the representation of a 3D object in a new modality difficult, whereas humans can do this quite easily.

[cagdasucar]

When I think about how I would explain moving my fingers to sense an object through its surface in the context of HTMs, I would say my brain is probably using associating the commands I'm giving to my fingers and the senses it gets, using distal segments and that's how it recognizes the object. Why would there be a different structure for it like grid cells? Can't reference frame be explained with the neurons that were fired to get there?

Grid cells - everything can sense. All space

Grid cells in neocortex
Universe space

Trying to google the word "holonaligy" at 9:07. Just got curious... Did I spell it wrong? Mindblowing stuff btw. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[LeetMath]

with regard to the ‘universe’ idea, how does that fit with allowing people to first learn local features in space of certain regions, then learn to fit the regions together, and integrate all that knowledge into a map of the whole object?

First of all, thank you Matt for sharing all this wonderful information on videos ...really appreciate it.  I've been very interested in this topic for many years and I believe Numenta is really onto something very vital.  
My question:  What do you think about this -- could it be that instead of our neocortex modelling the 'physical' world, it 'creates' a simulation of it?  Seems to me that simulation of the physical world is probably more accurate, considering that we even during our dreams (in a pitch dark/no sound rooms).  I think we are still somewhat stuck in a 'flat earth' mentality believing that this HUGE physical world, expanding, with zillion of galaxies is all 'real' -- that seems so improbable and unlikely, whereas a simulated computational world seems far more probable, doesn't it?  Especially considering how as Jeff mentioned in one of his videos, 'knowledge is information/facts arranged in a useful way, which our neocortex assigns in a reference frame (via Grid cells), and then navigates through it for a particular outcome' -- this seems to point that everything we see/hear/think is most likely based on a computationally based abstract internal reference frame based simulation and maybe the entire physical world with things/space/time is a derivation of this simulation. I don't mean to imply that some whiz kid has created all this; I believe the Universe is probably some type of a computation, within which sub-components exist in some  areas that also compute (like our brains), kinda like Steven Wolfram's point on how some regions of complexities can develop out of very simple programs (eg cellular automaton Rule #30) and Joscha Bach's ideas.  Please share your thoughts on this.  Thank You.

I had a flashback of linear algebra class when he talked about displacement.

[luck]

Do you think the same mechanism works for abstract concepts? Like, statistics is somewhere near probability theory, they both are inside math, which is inside science?

[cogmission]

Looking for my broom so I can sweep up the my blown mind bits! :-) New office? So where's the new office?

[vbarai]

Hi Matt,
Thanks for this videos, it is really help. Next question arias where+how to start coding it on NuPIC. in the Github there is lot of code but I didnt find a sequential tutorial (I mean coding) to start with. Could you please provide a link.
Thanks in Advance

I hope we won't have to wait six months again for that next video. I thought you had moved on and that was it. By the way, great job. Keep them coming. ::: Separate issue. Why don't you have merchandise as suggested by Nick King in the comments? While at uni some friends and I had some tee shirts made up with a picture angry looking young man with his fist in the air, sort of soviet style. The text around it said "No Use Without Instantiation". A programmers joke that everyone here will understand, but it confused the hell out of everyone else.
