Numenta, Inc., was founded in 2005 to be a catalyst in the emerging field of machine intelligence. Its biologically inspired machine learning technology is based on a theory of the neocortex first described in co-founder Jeff Hawkins' book, On Intelligence. The technology can be applied to anomaly detection in servers and applications, human behavior, and geo-spatial tracking data, and to the predication and classification of natural language. In addition, Numenta has created NuPIC (Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing) as an open source project.
