Hey everyone =)

I am quite new to the HTM Theory.  
Well, I read some papers from Numenta and, of course, watched the HTM School on YouTube (Thanks for that: Matt I love you 😍❤❤❤) to understand all the details.

Now I am wondering which Paper is the best to understand the temporal memory in depth.  
I hope this is not a super annoying and stupid first comment in this forum.

Thank you all for your help 😊🕰🧠

I am from Germany.  
I’m working on my masterthesis. It’s about anomaly detection for time series data.  
Soooo probably, you will here more question from me in the next months 😋

Ahh I see 😅  
I thought you might be interested in my person 😋

Well, similar to @Tresor: my supervisor told me about HTM. So I checked the internet and found HTM School on YouTube and the Papers on Numentas Homepage 😊
