Guide to Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) for Unsupervised Learning

Deep learning has proved its supremacy in the world of supervised learning, where we clearly define the tasks that need to be accomplished. But, when it comes to unsupervised learning, research using deep learning has either stalled or not even gotten off the ground! There are a few areas of intelligence which our brain executes flawlessly, but we still do not understand how it does so. Because we don't have an answer to the "how", we have not made a lot of progress in these areas. If you liked my previous article on the functioning of the human brain to create machine learning algorithms that solve complex real world problems, you will enjoy this introductory article on Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM). I believe this is the closest we have reached to replicating the underlying principles of the human brain. In this article, we will first look at the areas where deep learning is yet to penetrate.
