Hi Muidem,

Welcome to the list. There's no breaking the rules if you're politely
asking a question. As a good friend said to me once: "the only stupid
question is the one you never asked."

Francisco at http://CEPT.at has developed a really interesting system which
represents words as very much CLA-friendly SDRs. You should take a look at
his presentation from the hackathon as well as exploring the tools on his
website. I've recently started working with Francisco to explore adding the
sequence learning and disambiguation opportunities of a CEPT+NuPIC system.
We should have some results to share early in the New Year.

At the moment Grok/Numenta seem to be very much focussed on dealing with
machine generated data, usually scalar, and especially relatively
low-dimensional data which is amenable to using a model-per-stream
approach. There's a huge opportunity to prove NuPIC and Grok in this domain
and this is what they're concentrating on. This means that it's up to the
rest of the community to take a look at questions like yours. Luckily,
there are many people on the list who are exploring language questions.

It appears to me that a hierarchy is necessary in order to deal with human
languages, even if you start at the bottom with CEPT SDRs for words. We're
still not sure how to emulate the nested tree structure of human language
in CLA - this is for a future project.

Regards,

Fergal Byrne
