Mobile computing pioneers Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinsky founded Numenta to develop a new approach to machine intelligence first described in Hawkins' book On Intelligence.

After a few years of hard work, we have made great progress. The key invention is a new learning algorithm that automatically finds patterns in streams of data and predicts what is likely to occur next. The core of the algorithm is described here (pdf, video).

Numenta is developing what we believe will be a category-defining product based on this technology. The product promises to dramatically reduce the cost and difficulty of extracting value from any type of data.

We will be opening a private beta program towards the end of 2011. If you are interested in participating in the private beta please let us know.

We're hiring. Please check out our current openings.
