The models for the paper: Hawkins J, Ahmad S (2016) Why Neurons Have Thousands of Synapses, a Theory of Sequence Memory in Neocortex. Front Neural Circuits 10:23 are available here: https://github.com/numenta/nupic Notes provided by author Subutai Ahmad who also contributed to the ModelDB notes below: The simulations in the paper (specifically Figure 6) can be recreated using the code here: https://github.com/numenta/nupic.research/tree/master/projects/sequence_learning In order to run it, the user would need to install our research repository: https://github.com/numenta/nupic.research Which in turn depends on NuPIC: https://github.com/numenta/nupic We also have an active online forum for questions on the paper or the model: https://discourse.numenta.org/c/htm-theory --- Note from the ModeDB administrator: I successfully installed the code on the unbuntu 14.04 platform. In its default state it reproduced the red trace from Figure 6. Since I was starting with a new ubuntu install, I installed the following packages: sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libpng12-0 libpng12-dev libpng++-dev git python-setuptools python-devel python-numpy python-scipy build-essential gfortran autoconf automake libx11-dev pip install https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/artifacts.numenta.org/numenta/nupic.core/releases/nupic.bindings/nupic.bindings-0.4.4-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl pip install nupic I found this forum helpful: https://discourse.numenta.org/t/nupic-install-issue-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts/904 when I had to back track and start over. Once the nupic et al is successfully installed you can create a results folder in the nupic.research/projects/sequence_learning folder mkdir results and then run with the command python sequence_simulations.py If you plot the columns "time" vs "accuracy", you will get the red curve in Figure 6A. The other curves require different command line options to that script. I plotted the output in matlab after trimming off the header line with the bash commands: tail -8999 results/temp.csv > temp.dat cat temp.dat | sed 's/,/ /g' > tmp.dat cat tmp.dat | awk '{ print $1}' > t.dat cat tmp.dat | awk '{ print $8}' > acc.dat then in the matlab command prompt load t.dat load acc.dat plot(t,acc,'r') to produce the graph with a trace similar to the one in Figure 6
