The Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing (NuPIC) is a machine intelligence platform that implements the [HTM learning algorithms](http://numenta.com/learn/). It provides interfaces for Python and C++.

At the core of HTM are time-based continuous learning algorithms that store and recall spatial and temporal patterns. NuPIC is suited to a variety of problems, particularly anomaly detection and prediction of streaming data sources.

For more information, see [http://numenta.org](http://numenta.org) or the [NuPIC wiki](https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki).
