Hi Matt, Hmm, that’s a thought provoking question!
Here’s one suggestion: predicting user clicks on websites. The task would be to predict the pages a given user might click on next based on their past sequence of clicks. We did some initial work on this before with one of the largest news websites and got really good results. However it was never commercialized. The dataset would consist of weblogs from a large e-commerce or news website. Ideally we’d also have sanitized demographic information about each user. Possible applications would be: 1) much better page recommendations for users (which results in a user staying on a site longer), and 2) more relevant ads and hence improved ad-clicks. It would be great to hear some other ideas as well. —Subutai On Wed, Dec 18, 2013 at 1:36 PM, Matt Barton <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > > > I’ve been loosely following nupic for a while now.
