REDWOOD CITY, CA -January 14, 2019 - Scientists at Numenta propose a major new theory about how the human brain works. While neuroscientists have amassed an enormous amount of detailed factual ...

In this article we present some of the fundamental principles of a research program—the Sub-Symbolic Paradigm (SSP)—based on a particular approach to unifying connectionist and symbolic computation.

Their award-winning paper, “Explicit Two-Source Extractors and Resilient Functions”, tackles the long-standing challenge of generating reliable randomness from weak or flawed sources—a foundation for ...

The Church-Turing limit restricts all current computation, including quantum computers, to rational number computation. This is because quantum computer designs (still not scalable even with high ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...
