Re: Jeff Hawkins
I have talked to his second-in-command, Donna Dubinsky. In fact she guest lectured for my neuroventures class, about their AI/brain startup, Numenta (she is CEO).
Off the record comments:
One key issue with their work is that it's a model that attempts to mimic brain maps -- but again, as with the European Human Brain Project, we don't yet have brain maps. So there are a lot of assumptions built into their models.
Perhaps as a result, their models haven't done much. I think Numenta finally kind of gave up on trying to develop big hits with their AI http://numenta.org/ But I'm not sure any major outputs have happened yet.
Best,

i think ibm took numenta in house
Hmm.
