Hi Subutai,
HTM Cortical Learning Algorithms Okay, now the whitepaper says that
'newSynapseCount' defines "the maximum number of synapses added to a
segment during learning" so does it follow that
'newSynapseCount' defines both the initial synapses per segment and the
max number of synapses added when performing a segment update?
Thank you,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
That's right, it needs to be greater than minThreshold. There is a
variable called newSynapseCount in there that controls this parameter.
Cheers,

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
