Hi all, I was studying the temporal pooler parameters used in the file:
/examples/opf/experiments/opfrunexperiment_test/simpleOPF/hotgym/description.py
I'm curious as to how many synapses should be initially created per distal
dendrite segment. I didn't find a parameter defining this.
Based on my understanding from the whitepaper, it seems that there has to be at
least 'minThreshold' number
of previous active synapses on a dendrite segment to have any sequence segment
updates queued.
# Minimum number of active synapses for a segment to be considered
# during search for the best-matching segments.
# None=use default # Replaces: tpMinThreshold
'minThreshold': 12,
So is there a guideline on how many synapses distal dendrite segments
should be created initially? For instance, if 'minThreshold' is 12 and
we only have 11 initial synapses per segment it appears to me that it
would be impossible for the temporal pooler to ever "get off the ground"
so to speak. My guess is that there would need to be at least x2
'minThreshold' initially... Many thanks, Ryan McCall
