HTM Sample Apps NuPIC
What is it?
• Anomaly detection for IT analytics
• Custom data inputs for experimentation
How can I use it?
• Run it on your AWS instance
• Feed in your own data for a proof of concept
Where can I get it? • Download from the AWS Marketplace
License
• No cost license from Numenta
• Variable cost on AWS cloud
Difficulty • Low (basic IT skills)

4. Grok HTM Anomaly
Detection Engine
HTM Sample Apps NuPIC
What is it?
• Generic architecture for streaming anomaly
detection
How can I use it?
• Build your own app on top of the HTM engine
• Run anywhere
Where can I get it? • Contact Numenta
License • Requires license from Numenta
Difficulty • Medium (programming skills)

8. Grok HTM Engine
What is it?
• Open source code repositories containing all of
Numenta’s current HTM algorithms, plus
applications, experiments, HTM implementations,
tools, contest entries and more!
How can I use it?
• Build your own apps from scratch
• Participate in the NuPIC community
Where can I get it? • numenta.org
License
• Free under GPLv3
• Commercial license available
Difficulty • High (data scientist expertise)

9. • More people:
– thinking about HTM
– working on HTM
applications
– contributing to HTM
implementations
– sharing experiences
about HTM
Instead of a company working on HTM, we have a
community of hundreds of people involved in HTM.
Why Open Source?

10. Our NuPIC Community

11. Learn More about NuPIC

12. NuPIC: Just a beginning
• HTM work is just starting
• NuPIC is a bit like the Homebrew Computer Club
• Our community has
a large and diverse
population working
with HTM

13. Summary: Four Ways to Get Started with HTM Technology
What?
Anomaly detection for
IT analytics; custom
data inputs
Generic architecture
for streaming
anomaly detection
Sample code for
anomaly detection on
human, geospatial,
stock data; NLP
AD & prediction;
swarm (model
finding); arbitrary
time windows;
multiple variables
How?
Run it on your AWS
instance;
feed in your own data
for a proof of concept
Build your own app
on top; run anywhere
Build your own apps
using code &
encoders
Customize,
experiment
