Saffron Technologies focusing “On Intelligence”

Reading Jeff Hawkins book On Intelligence, I kept wondering what new technologies might be able to exploit his paradigm shifting approach to how the brain works.  Several months ago, I had the opportunity to review a few whitepapers from a company called Saffron Technologies and was consistently reminded of On Intelligence as I tried to put my mind around the solutions they were proposing.  It turns out the connection between the two works was appropriate as the Saffron folks admitted to taking the same approach as Hawkins.  As described on their web site:

“We provide biologically-inspired entity analytic and prediction solutions that rapidly sort through massive data sets to discover all you need to know about relationships and similarities among entities – people, places and things – much like our own memory works – except Saffron never forgets!”

If you have any interest in this type of emerging technology, I’d recommend you check out the Saffron Technologies web site.  [Saffron Technologies]
