Modeling Data Streams Using Sparse Distributed Representations

In this screencast, Jeff Hawkins narrates the presentation he gave at a workshop called “From Data to Knowledge: Machine-Learning with Real-time and Streaming Applications.“ The workshop was held May 7-11, 2012 at the University of California, Berkeley. Slides: Abstract: Sparse distributed representations appear to be the means by which brains encode information. They have several advantageous properties including the ability to encode semantic meaning. We have created a distributed memory system for learning sequences of sparse distribute representations. In addition we have created a means of encoding structured and unstructured data into sparse distributed representations. The resulting memory system learns in an on-line fashion making it suitable for high velocity data streams. We are currently applying it to commercially valuable data streams for prediction, classification, and anomaly detection In this talk I will des
