Jeff Hawkins: Brains, Data, and Machine Intelligence [video]

I was fortunate to discover Jeff Hawkins in the early 2007 , when he was exploring brain science .. .I went through his lectures for entrepreneurs at ecorner.stanford.edu , being indian ,I had to literally slow down the video to understand his speech and he is like Bill gross, very very fast in articulating and highly energetic in their talk. You can feel their passion in their work.<p>Incidently Jeff Hawkins was the first to work on Palm software.....you can say early versions of today&#x27;s smartphones.<p>Coming back to brain science , I somehow feel it&#x27;s more to do with complexity (Santafe.edu).<p>I am waiting for jeff Hawkins to launch a university like santafe.edu ( complexity) which works exclusively on brain science. Perhaps that would increase application of brain science.

I think this is the most interesting direction of research in CS one can get involved with today. In 10-20 years, half of CS graduate will be working in computational biology and the other half developing SDR-based machine intelligence.

What might be interesting is to stream stock market data (trades as well as company&#x27;s press releases) into the Grok algorithm. People who will manage this by the next market crash will be very rich indeed.

Please stop talking about machine intelligence without reference to normatively correct principles of quantitative reasoning. &quot;I tried it and it scored well in validation&quot; just shows that you&#x27;ve managed to apply <i>some</i> kind of statistical principle, not that you&#x27;ve found a way to build complete machine intellect.
