Biological Constraints

In the C++ community fork, we’re considering dropping support for several features which are not biologically plausible, but which may be useful nonetheless. Summary of the features in question: BacktrackingTM This is a variant of the Temporal Memory algorithm. It is specialized for anomaly detection, and on the Numenta Anomaly Benchmark it scores approximately 5% higher than the regular Temporal Memory. It is not biologically plausible. Numenta has stopped working on it in favor of the regul…
