Marcus Lewis on Using Grid Cells as a Prediction-Enabling Basis - December 21, 2020
Channel: Numenta
Date: 22/12/2020

Marcus Lewis presents an unsupervised learning technique that represents inputs using magnitudes and phases in relation to grid cells. He proposes an alternate view of grid cells that enables the creation of maps of novel environments and objects in a predictive basis. 
 
Marcus first gives an overview and his assumptions on the core pieces of the algorithm and provides examples to support his viewpoint on grid cells in mini columns. He then presents a simulation and shows how the technique can be implemented in artificial neural networks and biological tissues.

Numenta is leading the new era of machine intelligence. Our deep experience in theoretical neuroscience research has led to tremendous discoveries on how the brain works. We have developed a framework called the Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence that will be fundamental to advancing the state of artificial intelligence and machine learning. By applying this theory to existing deep learning systems, we are addressing today’s bottlenecks while enabling tomorrow’s applications.
