New algorithm provides 50 times faster Deep Learning

Using algorithms derived from neuroscience, AI research company Numenta has achieved a dramatic performance improvement in deep learning networks, without any loss in accuracy. Their breakthrough is also vastly more energy efficient. Today's deep learning networks have accomplished a great deal but are running into fundamental limitations – including their need for enormous compute power. A large, complex model can cost millions of dollars to train and to run, and the power required is growing at an exponential rate. New algorithms are essential to break through this performance bottleneck.
